Starship Troopers: Extermination Development Update (August 2025)

August 15, 2025

Hey Troopers,

We’ve got a lot of exciting things coming your way in the next few months, and we wanted to give you a glimpse into what’s in development across our upcoming updates. Whether you’re a veteran of the Arachnid wars or a fresh recruit just hitting the frontlines, there’s never been a better time to Do Your Part!

Looking Ahead – Update 1.7 Drops Late October

October brings with it a beast of an update. Update 1.7 is shaping up to be a major milestone, and here's a sneak peek at what's inside:

  • New Boss Bug: The Scorpion

Making its deadly debut in Starship Troopers: Extermination, the Scorpion is our next epic boss bug. Inspired by its short—but unforgettable—appearance in Starship Troopers 3: Marauder, this massive Arachnid is built to challenge even the most coordinated squads.

  • New Galactic Front

A new warzone joins the battle, complete with new Galactic Perks, Missions and Mutators to challenge every Trooper in the Deep Space Vanguard.

  • New Major Map

Our most atmospheric battlefield yet. This map draws heavy inspiration from the Starship Troopers: Invasion animated feature film. Expect close quarter combat and a whole lot of spine tingling encounters with the Bug.  Are you afraid of the dark?

  • QoL Improvements & Bug Fixes

We’re continuing our mission to make the game smoother, more stable, and more fun to play. Expect dozens of community-requested improvements and fixes across the board.

Stay Frosty – More to Come

We’ll be revealing more details about Update 1.7 and beyond this September. Until then, gear up, stay alert, and as always…Kill every last one of them dirty Bugs!
