Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War!

Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! just dropped a new trailer, and it’s a doozy, showcasing the new Bug Mode that lets you turn the tables and take on the Troopers with an Arachnid army. Suffice to say that there are more than a few deadly troops among its ranks.

John Rico returns in the trailer to tell you that to fight the bugs as effectively as you can, you need to understand how they operate. That’s going to be a fascinating study that starts with the Assassin bug, a deadly Arachnid that is as effective at range as it is in melee combat, and can cover large distances with its wings. You just need to master its three unique modes to sow chaos among any Troopers unfortunate enough to face you on the battlefield.

For those of you who haven’t yet heard of this one, it’s an inventive FPS title from Auroch Digital (known for Warhammer 40000: Boltgun) that we think you should watch out for when it releases on March 16th for PS5, PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. If the thought of getting to play as the Arachnids hasn’t convinced you, the full trailer is below for you to check out.
