For some reason, it seems like we're getting a game based on the classic 90s sci-fi Starship Troopers. After a fun RTS (our Starship Troopers: Terran Command Review), the next game on the menu is called Starship Troopers: Extermination which is a "12-player, squad-based co-op FPS" inspired by the film. And yeah, the trailer definitely leans into that big time.

Which is awesome, because Starship Troopers is, well, awesome. Check it out. Though the narrator sounds more like Maxwell Smart from Get Smart than the "Would You Like to Know More?" guy from the film.

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.

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!
