Starship Troopers just added a Helldivers 2 dream mechanic

Starship Troopers: Extermination is set to leave Steam Early Access on October 11, debuting on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S with full cross-play support. Developed by Offworld Interactive, this co-op shooter, which initially entered Early Access in May last year, will feature a campaign with 25 missions. Excitingly, Casper Van Dien returns as Johnny Rico from the 1997 film. One standout feature in the new update, Carnage on Planet X11 (version 0.8.0), is that the corpses and carcases of bugs will remain on the battlefield, giving players tactical advantages. For fans of large-scale co-op, the game supports up to 16-player matches with logistical and defense elements, adding a layer of strategy to the action.

Starship Troopers: Extermination will leave Early Access on October 11, 2024, with a simultaneous launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

Starship Troopers: Extermination is based on the cult classic 1997 film "Starship Troopers", directed by Paul Verhoeven. The movie was a satirical science fiction film that garnered a loyal fanbase for its over-the-top action and social commentary. This game stays true to the film's spirit with intense co-op gameplay and returning cast members like Casper Van Dien as Johnny Rico. The game aims to offer a fresh experience for fans of both the movie and the co-op shooter genre.
