In a flurry punch of announcements, rather good co-op bug-blaster Starship Troopers: Extermination has revealed that it's leaving behind early access and hitting its full 1.0 release on October 11, gaining a new singleplayer campaign mode in the transition, and that it's recruited Casper Van Dien—Mr "I'm from Buenos Aires and I say kill 'em all" from the original movie—to feature in it. Oh, and that you'll soon be able to kill enough bugs to literally change the terrain of the game's maps.
Van Dien will be reprising the role of Johnny Rico in a new, older and more grizzled form: General John Rico, who'll be giving you orders throughout the new campaign. "Now, [Rico's] older," said Van Dien in a chat with PCG, "and he's got more young troopers— people that he's looking out for. They mean more to him than the job."
