Here’s a rundown on the game, plus its reveal trailer:
Gear up, trooper!
The bug hunt is about to begin in Starship Troopers: Continuum, an intense online roguelike shooter that will push you and your squad to the limits. Inspired by the iconic universe of Starship Troopers, this game thrusts you into the heart of battle as part of an elite 3-player squad.
With VR, you’ll experience the full intensity of the battlefield like never before. Immerse yourself in visceral, fast-paced combat against waves of relentless bugs in thrilling PvE missions.
As you progress, collect resources, upgrade your gear, and unlock powerful perks to enhance your chances against increasingly deadly foes. But beware, death is permanent, so once you’re down it’s up to your team to survive, or start from scratch.
Are you ready to serve the Federation and protect humanity? Remember, every mission is a new fight for survival in Starship Troopers: Continuum. Suit up, lock and load, and prove that you have what it takes to crush the Bug threat once and for all.
Featuring Casper Van Dien reprising his role as the legendary ‘Johnny Rico’, Starship Troopers: Continuum is set 25 years after the Battle of Klendathu.
