The full version of Starship Troopers: Extermination is released now with all of the action the Starship Troopers IP offers
Those who have been playing along with the Early Access for Starship Troopers: Extermination up to now, you can get ready for another massive update to drop for you today. Those who just wanted to see what Offworld Industries were cooking up in a full form, can also get ready as the full launch of the game is here and for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC right now. Grab your guns and get ready to hunt down the bugs like the marines in the Starship Troopers universe can, as we are here with the 1.0 launch of it all. Grab your friends or get ready to play solo on the various planets out there and start to stream just as a trooper can. Along with a lot of new features that are just dropping for the full launch of the game that no one has had a chance to experience in the general market out here. Let us dive right in.
In addition to Starship Troopers: Extermination getting the solo play and landing on the consoles, we are getting a new enemy, planet, and Galactic Front to play with in the game. The planet Boreas is a toxic planet that we will need to survive along with the bug rushes. Bugs that will have a new Tanker Bug that we saw in the original Starship Troopers film. All to have us work as one solid army and make sure the only good bug is a dead one out there in the universe. Along with all of the other commentary pushes that the IP was known for. At least for those who are able to catch all of it and not buy into the false propaganda that was in the mix of it all. Then again, “big guns shoot big bugs” does feel like the default that most gamers and audience members will take away from the IP. As long as we are all having fun now that it is launched out there in full form, I guess. Have a look and see if this is going to be a game you add in for the gaming mixes moving forward.
