Offworld Industries and Sony Pictures Consumer Products have exciting news for gaming enthusiasts eagerly awaiting the launch of Starship Troopers: Extermination. The game will be available for Early Access on May 17th for PC, allowing players to provide feedback to the Offworld Industries team.
As players offer feedback on the 16-player action, which is more than originally anticipated, it will play a crucial role in determining the game’s features and mechanics before the eventual transition into version 1.0. Throughout the Early Access period, Offworld Industries will continue to refine the game based on player feedback and add more content.
The highly anticipated Starship Troopers Extermination game will be available for Early Access at a special introductory price of USD 24.99. This price will increase as more content is added ahead of the 1.0 launch. The game will offer an exciting combination of strategy and combat-oriented gameplay.
Players can construct and fortify their bases while not in heavy combat, providing a secure structure for respawning, regrouping, and rearming for co-op play focused on exterminating the Bugs. These bases are protected from enemy spawns, and players of all ranks and classes can utilize them.
Starship Troopers: Extermination puts players on the far-off front lines in an all-out assault against the Arachnid menace. Squad up as a Trooper in the Deep Space Vanguard, an elite Special Forces group within the Mobile Infantry, and get ready to stomp some Bug! No Trooper will ever stand alone as they line up shoulder-to-shoulder with their fellow Vanguards—trusty Morita Assault Rifles in hand—to battle against hordes of bloodthirsty insectoid aliens on the hostile surface of the planet Valaka.
Work together to complete objectives, acquire resources, build and defend your base of operations, and then escape to the extraction point together. The battle will be intense but, as hardened warriors standing for all of humanity and the United Citizen Federation, leave no inch of ground safe for the Arachnids.
