Excellent news, citizen: developer Offworld Industries have announced a brand new cooperative FPS based in the dystopian sci-fi setting of Starship Troopers, made famous by the 1997 cult-classic Paul Verhoeven film by the same name.

Judging from the gameplay trailer, you can expect to use a wide variety of weapons and base-building mechanics to keep humanity safe from the insectoid threat. It's basically Fortnite, Left 4 Dead, and dastardly alien bugs all rolled into one.

The game includes different classes and progression mechanics offering perks and gear, all reminiscent of Back 4 Blood and Warhammer 40,000 Darktide.

Starship Troopers takes place in a bleak, dystopian future where humanity, having fallen to authoritarianism, has declared war on a race of insectoid aliens they creatively call «the bugs». Popularized in the 1997 film, Starship Troopers offers a biting satire of totalitarianism, militarization, and fascism told from the perspective of the soldiers who are sent out to fight humanity's wars. 

This is, in part, why the setting is perfect for a co-op FPS. The meat of the setting has always been in the experiences of the sorry squads of soldiers who are driven to fight and die in a futile war against the bugs. Starship Troopers offers an extremely bleak take on the future of humanity. Starship Troopers engenders an entertaining sense of morbid curiosity and satirical bite while offering plenty of chances for pulse-pounding action. 

In a one-on-one engagement, an individual soldier is no match for even a
