New Critical Strike Map, new Air Strikes, and much more
December 1, 2025 – Troopers, the war against the bugs is flaring up on new fronts, and General Rico needs your help once again. Developer Offworld, together with publisher Knights Peak, isn’t slowing down and is rolling out Update 1.8 for Starship Troopers: Extermination. This update introduces the new Company Progression system, a fresh Critical Strike map, and Air Strikes – a brand-new side objective for ARC and AAS missions.
Highlights of the 1.8 content update include:
- Brand-new Company Progression: Update 1.8 introduces a new Company Progression system with over 50 tiers, unlocking unique emblems, frames, and additional Company slots. Intel’s earnings after each match contribute to the Company’s growth, allowing for distinctive customization on the Leaderboards.
- New Critical Strike Map: Boreas – Prepare for a new Critical Strike map set in the frozen wastelands of Boreas. Bundle up, Troopers… It’s going to get cold out there.
- New Side Objective: Air Strikes – Troopers will need to defend Fleet Relays out in the field to call in TAC Fighters for devastating bombing runs on the Bug hordes. The more Bugs you obliterate, the closer the Federation is to winning the war. Keep your eyes peeled for the ‘TAC Fighter Support’ and ‘Fleet Relay’ Mutators on Valaka, Agni Prime, and Boreas missions.
- Bug fixes and quality of life improvements
And that’s not all; players can already start looking forward to future updates that will introduce not only new threats, but also tools to resist them.
Inspired by the Starship Troopers movie, Starship Troopers: Extermination is an action-packed co-op FPS where players join the Deep Space Vanguard to fight non-stop Arachnid hordes across hostile planets.
