On Steam, Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, Launch Trailer Released.

Blasting its way out of early access and into a full retail release, StarShipTroopers Extermination combines frenetic squad-based gunplay with base-building and resource extraction against swarms of diverse arachnid foes. Choose from six distinct classes and work together to complete objectives, acquire resources, build and defend your base, and extract critical materials in intense battles to secure the future of the United Citizen Federation.

Project Lead, Peter Maurice commented “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”

Gareth Woods (Head Of Marketing) added “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”.
