Cryptic Studios unveiled Star Trek Online over a year ago, and since then we've had lots of questions. One of the foremost is the same with any highly anticipated game: When? The answer we've been waiting for is finally here: Craig Zinkievich, Star Trek Online's executive producer, confirmed the news to Videogamer.com. "Without giving you the date, which I'm not allowed to give out or else the marketing people will come and smack me in the back of the head, I can tell you that the game will be out the first quarter of 2010."
Possibly risking that smack on the back of the head anyway, Zinkievich went on to give a little more information, mentioning the closed beta. "The closed beta is really just right around the corner. I think that there's a press release that's going to go out in just a couple of days."
We're just as excited as you are, so we'll be keeping a very close eye out for that announcement.

The thing to keep in mind is, STO was acquired by Cryptic from Perpetual. Perpetual already did a HUGE amount of work on the game. While Cryptic did scrap a bunch of stuff, they kept a whole lot.
So yes, while Cryptic has been working on it for only a year (or a little bit over), If you count in the time Perpetual has been working on it, it just about evens out.
