by That’s what Offworld Industries announced Starship Troopers: Annihilation, a 12-player team-based cooperative first-person shooter inspired by the 1997 film. It will be released in Early Access for PC via Steam in 2023.
Here is an overview of the game via Offworld Industries:
Around
Starship Troopers: Annihilation brings players to the far-off frontline in an all-out assault against the Arachnid menace. Squad as a trooper in the Deep Space Vanguard, an elite special forces unit within the Mobile Infantry. And get ready to stomp on some bugs, 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 take on hordes of bloodthirsty insectoid aliens the enemy surface of the planet to fight Walaka.
Work together to complete objectives, gather resources, build and defend your base of operations, and then escape together to the extraction point. Combat will be intense, but as hardened warriors who represent all of humanity and the United Citizen Federation, don’t leave the Arachnids an inch of ground safe!
Suit up and scoot, Troopers! After all, the only good bug is a dead bug!
