Starship Troopers: Extermination 1.0 Release Overview
Starship Troopers: Extermination developer Offworld Industries is gearing up for the full launch of its bug-stomping 16-player co-operative FPS. The game is set to release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC on 11th October this year, bringing a host of new features and updates for players to enjoy.
Gameplay and Storyline
Extermination, which initially entered early access last May, immerses players in the role of the Deep Space Vanguard – an elite Special Forces unit within the Mobile Infantry. Their mission? To reclaim control of planets overrun by bug invaders through intense first-person bug-blasting, strategic base building, and resource gathering. One of Extermination’s standout features is its ability to display hundreds of bugs on screen simultaneously, along with persistent corpses that impact gameplay dynamics.
Upon its full launch in October, Extermination will expand its early access core with new modes and content. The highlight is the single-player focused Special Operations Group campaign, led by Casper Van Dien reprising the iconic role of Johnny Rico.
Special Operations Group Missions
At launch, Extermination will introduce approximately 25 objective-based Special Operations Group missions, each lasting 2-3 hours. These missions serve as a training ground for new players, preparing them for the game’s intense 16-player mode while following a compelling narrative. Players will interact with companion characters like Moose, Scorch, and Jensen, each with their own unique backstory.
Multiplayer Experience
Extermination’s 1.0 release will also debut the Galactic Front campaign, allowing groups of up to 30 players to collaborate towards shared objectives. This multiplayer mode introduces time-limited challenges where players collect intel to unlock cosmetic rewards.
Each Galactic Front operation will feature a narrative that evolves as players progress, introducing new activities and mutations to elevate the battle experience. The first Galactic Front operation takes players to the frozen planet of Boreas, where they will face mutated foes and powerful enemies like the Tanker Bug.
Future Developments
Offworld Industries has ambitious plans for Starship Troopers: Extermination beyond its initial release. The developer aims to implement a robust post-launch update schedule, introducing new modes, gameplay enhancements, and eventually integrating all bugs and weapons from the franchise’s live-action and animated movies in the coming years.
Conclusion
As Starship Troopers: Extermination gears up for its 1.0 release on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S, players can anticipate a thrilling co-operative FPS experience with immersive gameplay elements, engaging storylines, and a roadmap for future content updates.
