*New* Solo Play Tutorial Mode feat. Johnny Rico Reprised by Casper Van Dien – Chapter One of an all-new story featuring General Rico of the 1997 movie will introduce players to the different gameplay aspects of Starship Troopers: Extermination. Chapter Two to follow in post-launch updates!
*New* Planet: Boreas – Boreas was a toxic, frozen wasteland before it was hit with a Bug Meteor, allowing the Arachnids to evolve in this extreme environment. Join the first landing parties sent to explore its surface and destroy the frigid Arachnids!
*New* Enemy: The Tanker Bug – 1.0 finally introduces the iconic movie bug–These giant Bugs serve as armored assault units in the Arachnid army and are capable of swiftly decimating whole platoons of Mobile Infantry. When the Tanker emerges, it will require the whole team’s attention to take it out. It can be encountered in Company Operation missions.
*New* Galactic Front - Work as one army towards a common goal: Galactic Front provides new missions to Company members, connecting individual players to the broader Starship Troopers community.
Victory Points earned by the entire community contribute towards different outcomes, affecting “Spoils of War” rewards and influencing the ongoing story of the Starship Troopers: Extermination universe.
*New* Companies – Players can now build their own Company of dedicated Troopers, just like Johnny Rico and his Roughnecks. Within each Company, players work together to achieve goals on the Galactic Front via special Company Operations. As a Company Member, you can:
Join Company Operations—missions created by your Company’s Officers
Earn Victory Points and contribute towards the overall Galactic Front Campaign
Uncover Intel for your Company, which is used by Officers to create new Operations
Find comrades that suit your playstyle
Cooperative Gameplay – Up to 16 players team up to defend their base, complete objectives, gather resources, and squash every Bug in sight
Six Playable Classes – Ranger, Sniper, Demolisher, Guardian, Engineer or Medic — how will you choose to do your part?
Build Defenses – Construct walls, defense towers, machine-gun turrets, and more using resources harvested from planetside refineries.
Persistent Bug Corpses – With the Carnage system, every dead Bug’s corpse litters the battlefield, creating new paths and obstacles throughout the environment
“From day one, we've been chasing the target of creating the "authentic Troopers experience". We poured over the source material to find the essence of what it means to be a Trooper in the Deep Space Vanguard and did our best to bring that to life” – Gareth Woods, Head of Marketing
“It’s been an epic journey through Early Access, and our squad has been nothing short of extraordinary. I’m so proud of what our team has been able to achieve on systems like Carnage, which is brand-new tech we weren’t even sure was possible. Seeing those bodies pile up and change the environment without performance being impacted is something to behold. But we aren’t getting too comfortable—this is just the beginning! We’re charging full speed ahead into the future, and we can’t wait to share what’s next for Starship Troopers: Extermination” – Peter Maurice, Project Lead
Limited Run Collector’s Edition
In collaboration with Knights Peak and Limited Run Games, the Starship Troopers: Extermination Collector’s Edition is available for pre-order until October 27th, featuring a Warrior Bug figurine, double-sided posters, a United Citizens Federation flag, an embroidered patch, and many more pieces of Starship Troopers memorabilia!
