Set 25 years after the events of the original film, the game follows the heroic campaign of veteran Samantha Dietz as she hunts the lethal Assassin Bug during the First Bug War. Players will relive her exploits by eliminating Arachnids across the native world of Klendathu and traveling to new planets such as Planet P, in a solo campaign with tight pacing, supported by a devastating arsenal of 14 weapons including the iconic Morita rifle, 11 tactical supports, and even a piloted mech. All presented with a 3D pixelated graphics style that turns every fight into a bath of glory and gore. Those wishing to prepare optimally for war can also tackle a special training mode, taking on the Bug’s perspective to understand their abilities and refine the strategies needed to crush the insectoid threat.
Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! will be available in 2026 and promises a nostalgic, brutal, and deeply faithful return to the spirit of the universe created by Paul Verhoeven.
