Starship Troopers: Extermination – 12 Player Co-Op FPS Coming in 2023

Offworld Industries has announced a new 12-player co-op FPS coming to Steam in 2023 titled Starship Troopers: Extermination. The cooperative first-person shooter from the developer behind Squad will release the upcoming game to Steam Early Access and has released a brand-new announcement trailer.

Offworld Industries will be teaming up with Sony Pictures Consumer Products for a squad-based first-person combat experience that pits players against the arachnid alien species from the hit 90s film Starship Troopers. The squads will be expected to work together if they are to survive the onslaught of bugs as they complete objectives, gather resources to aid in the fight, build and defend their base of operations, and ultimately escape via an extraction point.

Check out some of the features you can expect to see in Starship Troopers: Extermination:

• Three Playable Classes – Choose from Assault, Support, and Defense classes to best suit your playstyle and support the rest of your squad. 
• Class Progression System – Unlock new weapons, equipment, and perks for each class to become an elite warfighter among the Deep Space Vanguard. 
• 5 Unique Bug Types – At Early Access launch, encounter Drone, Warrior, Gunner, Plasma Grenadier, and Tiger Elite enemy Bugs during planetside missions. 
• Escalating Infestation Levels – Increasing Bug threat levels during missions bring bigger and more dangerous enemies to the fight. 
• Large-scale Battles – A massive map with five unique zones, and swarm-based combat with hundreds of enemy Bugs on screen delivers the sense of an overwhelming planetary war. 
• Ground War – Retake bases and refineries, destroy hives, and complete a variety of side objectives to wrest control of the map away from the Bug menace. 
• Ping system – Communication is key! The ‘Ping’ system gives players a quick and easy way to call out points of interest, objectives, incoming enemies, and more to teammates. 

The developer’s press release also shared more details on what players can expect, writing:

“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.” 

Starship Troopers: Extermination will be available on Steam Early Access in 2023. The official website for the game also notes an Alpha is coming soon, so stay tuned for more information on that.
