Why Early Access?

In Starship Troopers: Extermination, our vision is to depict the galactic war between the United Citizen Federation and the Arachnid Empire. After our initial launch and throughout the course of Early Access development, players will get to engage with exciting new updates that expand upon the in-game universe while providing feedback through our official community channels that our developers can take into consideration.

At Early Access launch, we plan on sharing an exciting content roadmap with hints at features and game elements already planned for upcoming releases. Throughout Early Access, we will provide players with more weapons, an updated class leveling system as well as progression achievements and unlockable skins for both weapons and armor. On the enemy side, we plan on adding more Bugs including boss battles that require complex player coordination to defeat.

As we progress through development, we aim to introduce ongoing planetary battles where the player can explore new items and enemies introduced in previous updates as an epic multi-world conflict breaks out. This transition includes the addition of a new planet as we head toward the completion of Early Access. The intent throughout Early Access is to convey that this part of our development cycle is the beginning of the war and the fight will only increase in complexity and ferocity as we move to full release.

How long will this game be in Early Access?

Starship Troopers: Extermination is expected to be in Early Access for approximately 1 year, though this may shift as development progresses.

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

The full version of Starship Troopers: Extermination will span multiple planets ready to be liberated from the Arachnid Threat. This 1.0 launch build is planned to include additional weapons, enemy types, class progression upgrades, community events, and encounters. The player will have a diverse roster of customization options allowing them to tailor their troopers to fit their playstyle and experience.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

Starship Troopers: Extermination will launch in Early Access with a massive map on planet Valaka. Up to 16 players can team up to complete main and side missions before escaping to the extraction zone.

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

After our Early Access launch, the price of Starship Troopers: Extermination will increase to reflect the amount of content we’ve added over the course of Early Access.

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

We plan to work closely with the community on our official community channels as well as our community Discord channel, as we add features, tune gameplay, and develop new content. These will be the best channels to provide feedback - our Community Team is excited to see you there!

Make sure to follow the game on Twitter and Facebook as we’ll be sharing sneak peeks at what’s to come on our social channels throughout development.
