Starship Troopers: Extermination Launches into Early Access

Offworld Industries, in collaboration with Sony Pictures Consumer Products, have launched Starship Troopers: Extermination into Early Access. While the game is primed and ready for intense squad-based shooter action, more features and enhancements will be added to the core gameplay experience over time. Their goal is that by inviting players into the beginning stages of public access, the Offworld Industries team is excited to enlist the community to help guide what features and mechanics to build upon and evolve before the game’s eventual transition into full release.

The Early Access edition of Starship Troopers: Extinction will cost $24.99 USD (a special introductory price that will increase as more content is introduced ahead of the 1.0 launch) and puts players on the far-off front lines in an all-out war with 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! 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.

Work together to complete objectives, acquire resources, build and defend your base of operations, and then escape to the extraction point together. The battle will be intense but, as hardened warriors standing for all of humanity and the United Citizen Federation, leave no inch of ground safe for the Arachnids! 

Key Features of Starship Troopers: Extermination

• Cooperative Gameplay – 16 players can team up in squads of four to defend their 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 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 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. 

Starship Troopers: Extermination is available now in Early Access on Steam. Play the game and help the developers polish the game out before release because, say it with me now, the only good bug is a dead bug. You can watch the Early Access launch trailer below.
