The Starship Troopers franchise has been enjoying a bit of an upswing in recent years. Terran Command brought it back into real-time strategy, and Extermination threw players into large-scale co-op battles with a hint of Helldivers. Now, Auroch Digital's Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! goes back to basics with a PS2-era-inspired single-player shooter. Would you like to know more?
Released on March 16, 2026, the game takes citizens right into the Bug War from Paul Verhoeven's 1997 sci-fi classic. The narrative is more of a string of flashbacks as told by General Johnny Rico (yes, they got Casper Van Dien back) and new protagonist Major Samatha "Sammy" Dietz, with the developers still taking us to iconic moments like the invasion of Klendathu.
