Starship Troopers: Extermination Celebrates its 1st anniversary With The Free “Echoes of Sparta” Content Update
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, 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, set on a massive spaceship.
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 leave the familiarity of previous planet-side maps behind to exterminate Bugs 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 content such as new weapons, new game modes and new threats to face, along with numerous smaller patches with additional gameplay improvements.
During that time, dedicated troopers have eliminated an astonishing 1,259,470,477 bugs, once again proving that service guarantees citizenship. However, this is only the beginning of the war against the Arachnids, with developer Offworld and publisher Knights Peak planning many more surprises in 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.
Starship Troopers: Extermination launched in Early Access on May 17, 2023 - with its full release following on October 11, 2024. I
