A new retro FPS based on the Starship Troopers franchise, Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War!, will launch on March 16, 2026, with a playable demo available now. The game puts players in the role of Major Samantha "Sammy" Dietz during Operation Razorwire as she fights to liberate the beaches of Zegema Beach from the Arachnid menace. The demo offers a taste of the full experience, letting players experience the First Bug War with Mobile Infantry support.

Players can expect expansive support options including fellow troopers, armor, and M7 Razorback mechanical bipeds, along with operational independence to tackle objectives their way. The game features an expansive arsenal centered around the Morita MK1 rifle, with additional weapons to discover on the battlefield. Fleet support options allow players to call in tactical air strikes when ground combat becomes overwhelming.

Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! promises the most realistic portrayal of war in the franchise's history, according to the press release. The game is available for wishlist on Steam, where the demo can be downloaded immediately. Fans of the classic sci-fi franchise and retro shooters can prepare for deployment this March as humanity's fight against the Bugs continues.
