“From day one, we've been chasing the target of creating the "authentic Troopers experience". We poured over the source material to find the essence of what it means to be a Trooper in the Deep Space Vanguard and did our best to bring that to life” – Gareth Woods, Head of Marketing
“It’s been an epic journey through Early Access, and our squad has been nothing short of extraordinary. I’m so proud of what our team has been able to achieve on systems like Carnage, which is brand-new tech we weren’t even sure was possible. Seeing those bodies pile up and change the environment without performance being impacted is something to behold. But we aren’t getting too comfortable—this is just the beginning! We’re charging full speed ahead into the future, and we can’t wait to share what’s next for Starship Troopers: Extermination” – Peter Maurice, Project Lead.
