In the sprawling cosmos of multiplayer shooters, Starship Troopers: Extermination doesn’t just drop you into another bug hunt—it flings you headfirst into the chaos and carnage of the Mobile Infantry. Offworld Industries, the minds behind the acclaimed tactical shooter Squad, are back, and this time they’re armed to the teeth with a new co-op shooter that blends strategic teamwork with relentless alien slaughter.
Starship Troopers: Extermination is more than just a shooter; it’s an adrenaline-pumping ride through the brutal world first imagined by Robert A. Heinlein and later immortalized in Paul Verhoeven’s cult classic film. This first-person shooter throws you and 11 other troopers into the thick of it, facing off against swarms of hostile arachnids that are hell-bent on ripping you apart.
This isn’t your average run-and-gun affair. Extermination requires you to band together with your squad, strategize, and outthink the bug menace. Cooperation is key, and every trooper’s role can make or break the mission. Offworld Industries brings the same focus on teamwork from Squad into this game, but with a lot more bug guts.
Suit Up, Trooper
- Class Warfare: Choose from a variety of classes, each bringing unique skills and gear to the battlefield. Whether you’re a heavy gunner or a support specialist, your role is crucial to the team’s success.
- Fortify and Survive: The bug horde won’t stop coming, so you’ll need to dig in. Build and reinforce bases to create last stands against overwhelming odds.
- Evolve as You Exterminate: Progression isn’t just a bonus—it’s survival. As you rack up kills and complete missions, you’ll unlock better weapons, powerful perks, and gear that gives you an edge in the fight.
- Ever-Changing Battlegrounds: No two missions are alike. Dynamic objectives and unpredictable bug swarms ensure that every match is a new, pulse-pounding experience.
- Swarms That Think: The bugs are more than just mindless drones. They adapt, they learn, and they’ll challenge you in ways you never saw coming.
Launching in Early Access on Steam, Starship Troopers: Extermination is still in its infancy, but that’s all part of the plan. Just like with Squad, Offworld Industries is using this phase to refine the game with player input. Frequent updates, new content drops, and a dev team that actually listens are turning this title into something special.
From Heinlein’s pages to Verhoeven’s silver screen, Starship Troopers has always been about more than just blasting bugs—it’s a satirical, action-packed look at the cost of war. Extermination channels that spirit, delivering the epic battles and soldierly camaraderie that fans have come to expect, while still being accessible to newcomers.
Offworld Industries harnesses the power of Unreal Engine to bring Starship Troopers’ universe to life. Massive, detailed maps set the stage for your battles, with each encounter pushing your skills—and your rig—to the limit. But don’t worry, optimization is top of mind as the game evolves.
Offworld Industries knows that a great game is nothing without a passionate community. From live developer streams to active social media channels, the team is keeping the lines of communication wide open. And with future updates promising new maps, bug types, and game modes, the trooper community is in for a wild ride.
Lock and Load
Starship Troopers: Extermination isn’t just a game—it’s a call to arms for anyone who’s ever dreamed of stepping into the boots of a Mobile Infantryman. Offworld Industries has taken the best parts of the franchise and fused them with their expertise in team-based shooters. The result? A co-op experience that’s as exhilarating as it is intense. As it continues to evolve, Extermination is shaping up to be a must-play for fans of the genre.
