Offworld Industries has announced Starship Troopers: Extermination, a new first-person co-op shooter that will drop up to 12 players right into the fight against the Bug menace.
Players will suit up and ship out to a far-off front as a Trooper in the Deep Space Vanguard, an elite Special Forces group within the Mobile Infantry.
As the press release reads:
“No Trooper stands alone. As soon as the dropship hits dirt, your trusty Morita Assault Rifle and fellow Deep Space Vanguard Troopers are all that will keep you alive while exploring the hostile surface of the planet Valaka. Work together to complete objectives, acquire resources, build and defend a base, and then escape to the extraction point together.”
Starship Troopers: Extermination is coming to Steam Early Access in 2023. Below you can find its debut trailer and screenshots, as well as its key features.
- Cooperative Gameplay. 12 players can team up in squads of four to defend your base, complete objectives, gather resources, and try to kill every Bug in sight.
- Three Playable Classes. Choose from Assault, Support, and Defense classes to best suit your playstyle and support the rest of your squad.
- Build Defenses. Construct walls, towers, ammo stations, and more using resources acquired from planetside refineries
Class Progression System – Unlock new weapons, equipment, and perks for each class to become an elite warfighter of 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 callout points of interest, objectives, incoming enemies, and more to teammates

I like the idea but it doesn’t look good for a PC game. For a second I thought it was a mobile game.
Probably one of the worst movies I ever saw.
Oh man, are you serious? I wish I could change that for you. The movie was ahead of it’s time And the CGI still holds up to death. The audio in the movie is also a reason why we all should be watching movies on a proper audio system. Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy such a unique experience. Damn man
Nice Left4Dead clone.
Not even close.
It’s not even out yet, try to be a little positive.
Another co-op live service online crap…
This game is made by the team who made Squad… It’s not a bad game if you are into “realistic FPS” games, but it’s still very buggy, unpolished, lacks content and it’s unoptimized.
I was really optimistic until I saw the cartoonish gameplay.
Shame
Yeah, the UI looks like something out of a console game and the gameplay from mobile.
When I see Multiplayer anything I lose interest and it shouldn’t be the case. I just know that it will be a cash grab and then abandoned. Gaas Light Us To Death.
looking good!
As cheesy as the movies were, I always enjoyed them. Looking forward to trying the game, even if the screenshots make it look like it should have been released 10 years ago.
Anybody else that any Starship Troopers game will always be boring anyway cos we mostly kill only ONE type of enemy? I mean, it says there are 5 types (which is already pretty low), but 95% of the time, it’s just the same one.
I love the 1997 movie and the book, but I just don’t think it converts well to games, despite the looks…

Not necessarily because it’s 5. I believed you can take a game with one enemy and it can be good. Just gotta put the work in. Remember that word, creativity? But this is where I’m with you, because we all know the work is not going to be put in. It will just be pew pew and no substance. I don’t understand why they can’t make a good game anymore. Nowadays, if the gameplay is good it’s filled with bloat or vise versa. I believe that anything that’s an fps with a bunch of players won’t be good, it will be more of the mundane. But yet they still sell. I don’t think you and I are the demographics anymore. We are a fossil to them and something they wish would just go away. Sad, because I love starship troopers. Seen the 1997 movie probably 20x
Have to disagree. A game could be done. It just takes a good dev team that understands why the franchise is so awesome m unfortunately the only people who have made games just think “kill bugs = cool” but it could be more than that. The same kind of love that went into terminator resistance could be done with starship troopers.
Oh snap, let me guess. Another one of those Fleet Elites? Dude, why you talking mess about Mobile Infantry? You know the MI doesn’t make stupid troopers, right…
