I am a 90’s kid and I do remember liking the movie Starship Troopers, based on the book  of the same name about a futuristic military operation against an insect-like monster from a distant planet attacking Earth.

The movie was not a big Blockbuster movie, but gained traction enough to be considered a cult film and spawned 4 sequels, neither reaching the heights of the original.

Nevertheless fans of the book and the franchise itself celebrated the 25th anniversary of the release of the movie and entered gaming studio Offworld Industries.

Offworld Industries, a gaming studio founded in 2014 and known for SQUAD, Post Scriptum and Beyond The Wire, announced that it had acquired the rights for making a new Starship Troopers game, the first in 10 years called Starship Troopers: Extermination.

“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 because 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.”

Basically the mechanics of the game is that players in Starship Troopers: Extermination 12 player co-op first person shooter and the game will be launched as an early access via Steam Early Access in 2023.
