Star Trek Online unveils in-game Leonard Nimoy memorials to best remember Spock
The studio behind massively multiplayer online role-playing game Star Trek Online has littered the game world with memorials to Leonard Nimoy's Spock to best remember the cultural icon.
Following the death of the fan favourite who played Star Trek’s iconic Spock earlier this week, the studio launched in-game memorial statues featuring iconic quotes from the character such as 'Live long and prosper' and 'The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few'.
Stephen Ricossa, an executive producer of the title at Arc Games, said: “Last Friday we lost someone dear to us... Leonard Nimoy was more than just a Star Trek icon - he was a cultural icon. His passing has been felt farther and wider than I think he could have possibly known, and I feel it's that humility, despite all of his skills, talents, and fame, that made him someone we all care about.
“I’m certain everyone who knew of Nimoy's work will remember him in their own special way, and I want to make sure Star Trek Online also has an in-game way for people to remember him as well. As of this morning, there are several locations throughout the game that will allow people to take a moment to remember Spock, Leonard Nimoy, and other departed friends from Star Trek history.”
