New map, new threats, and new bugs to exterminate
You’ve done well, Trooper – but the war is far from over. Offworld, in collaboration with publisher Knights Peak, is preparing for new orders to be carried out with the release of a free content update, named “Echoes of Sparta,” for Starship Troopers: Extermination. The latest update takes the game to version 1.7 and brings many new additions, including a new Bug type to exterminate and, for the first time since launch, a brand-new map, located on a massive spaceship, all as part of the celebrations for the game’s first anniversary.
Highlights of the Echoes of Sparta 1.7 content update include:
- New map: Sparta – Get ready for a space-level mission! This time, players will be tasked with exterminating Bugs not on a planet, but on a massive spaceship. The mission is simple: take back the ship from the Arachnid menace. On the Sparta, Troopers will be able to deploy into AAS, Horde, Hive Hunt, and SOG Missions.
- New threat – Scorpion Bug: Troopers, a new enemy has appeared on the battlefield. The highly anticipated Scorpion bug brings with it a menacing array of attacks that will keep even seasoned Troopers on their toes. Can you discover and attack its weak point?
- New Galactic Front, with a new set of perks
- Bug fixes and quality of life improvements
With the release of the Echoes of Sparta update, Starship Troopers: Extermination celebrates the first anniversary of its 1.0 launch across all platforms. Over the past 12 months, the community has received seven major updates that introduced free new content such as new weapons, new game modes, and, of course, new threats, along with numerous smaller patches that brought various gameplay improvements. During that time, the dedicated troopers eliminated an astonishing 1,259,470,477 bugs, once again proving that service guarantees citizenship. Yet this is only the beginning of the war against the Arachnids, as developer Offworld, in collaboration with publisher Knights Peak, has many more surprises planned for the coming months.
Inspired by the Starship Troopers movie, Starship Troopers: Extermination is an action-packed co-op FPS where players join the Deep Space Vanguard to fight non-stop Arachnid hordes across hostile planets. Developed by Offworld, the game launched in Early Access on May 17, 2023, with its full release on October 11, 2024, for PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and the Offworld shop, and for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
