Will locations/characters/story from Star Trek Online be in new show?

[jefferiestubes8]

I was wondering if any of the Cryptic Studios' Star Trek Online videogame will make it into the new TV show and become canon?
locations, ships, characters, aliens, plot, story, episode titles?
As far as I know none of the 1990s Trek video games had any material that became canon and made it into VOY or ENT. Now that there is so much Trek game content will any of it make it into the new show in some way?
Will the directing on the style of the cut-scenes for Star Trek Online make it into the style of the new series?
On the Upcoming Content STO Wiki it mentions for Season 11: New Dawn (October 27, 2015)

More episodes will be serialized throughout 2015, into late 2016.

I wonder if that will also be how the new TV series plot is rather than standalone episodes?

If the new show is in any way close to Star Trek: Online, then it'll be a story about how Starfleet just willy nilly goes in guns blazing and kills everything.

That sounds kind of boring and un-Starfleet like.

Other than the scifi-action like JJTrek I was thinking more along the lines of storylines, characters, ships, alien races, starbases, planets that have been developed for ST:Online but can be used in new stories for the new series and become canon.

In order for that to happen:

1. The new show would have to be set in the Prime universe, and

2. The new show would have to be set during STO's time or in the future of STO's time.

I don't see either of those things happening, because:

1. It's highly unlikely the new show will be set in the Prime universe, and

2. CBS and Alex Kurtzman aren't going to produce a show based on some video game that only a small proportion of Trek fans play.

Probably only in the abstract. Like how Orci was a fan of some early TOS books (notably Best Destiny) and included the ideas when worldbuilding for the 2009 film. If someone on Kurtzman's team is familiar enough with an aspect of Star Trek Online, or it fits with what they're developing, then I can see them lifting the idea and adapting it for the series.

But that could apply to anything and everything, from any franchise in any medium. I'd be very surprised if any idea is reused, and if reused, if it's even acknowledged and not a coincidence.

The only thing canon in the new series is the Star Trek pinball game. The ship will be a captured borg sphere and will use tachyon collision drive to bounce to unexplored star systems. Sometimes if the ship gets stuck someone will have to hit the side of the universe in order to dislodge it.

I wouldn't mind if the new series were set in the mid-25th century, which would allow it to be set well enough after STO to not conflict much.
