Offworld has landed in Cologne, Germany for Gamescom ahead of the Starship Troopers: Extermination launch on console for [b]PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X | S this coming October 11th, 2024[/b]. As part of this event, troopers were able to get a special inside look showcasing the next Arachnid foe of the Tanker Bug, our new frosty locale Boreas, and also a first look at General Rico’s Special Operations Group (S.O.G.).

This ferocious and imposing Bug can burst through the ground without warning during matches, challenging players with its unpredictable nature and devastating incendiary stream. Don’t expect to bring down the Tanker Bug with bullets from afar; players should look to inspiration from the daring tactics of General Rico himself to exploit its weak points to defeat it. Boreas, meanwhile, is a new ice planet, recently infested by the arrival of a Bug meteor. Set to debut alongside the console launch, this chilling environment presents a new battleground where players will face Bug variants adapted to the frigid environment in the Frost Drone and Frost Warrior.

Code-named Special Operations Group (S.O.G.), this new solo play mode sees the player undertake a multitude of missions dispatched by the General himself as he brings together the best of the best from Spec Ops divisions within the UCF for top-secret assignments. Varying in scope and objectives, these missions are designed to prepare soldiers for the more challenging 16-person multiplayer missions; additional missions will be added in subsequent content updates beyond the October 11th launch.
