Starship Troopers: Extermination is a first-person sci-fi action shooter, part of the larger Starship Troopers franchise and developed and published by Offworld Industries.
Announced in November 2022, [1] the game is developed and published by Canadian [2] studio Offworld Industries, previously known for developing the 2020 video game Squad. [3] [4]
Part of the Starship Troopers media franchise, the game draws from elements found in the original 1997 Starship Troopers film and takes place thirty years after it. [4] [5]
Although Extermination was originally expected to support up to 12-player action, [6] this number was later increased to include 16-player player versus environment (PvE). [7] The game entered its early access phase on May 17, 2023. [8]
The game features cooperative (co-op) gameplay, in which players assume the role of a Trooper. There are three Trooper classes: Assault, Support, and Defense. [3] Meanwhile, there are five types of "Bugs", or aliens: Drone, Warrior, Gunner, Plasma Grenadier and Tiger Elite. [3] There is also a ping system similar to the ones included in Titanfall and Halo Infinite, to assist with player-to-player communication in-game. [6]
Each match will see the players deploy on multiple planets like Valaka and Agni-Prime from a dropship, with a task to explore it. Players will need to complete missions and gather resources with the goal of creating a base defendable from the Bugs. Ultimately, the players will attempt to reach the extraction point. [4]
