A Storm is Coming in Starship Troopers: Extermination Update 12

Free update 12 Expands X-11 with Meteor Showers, Missions, and The Return of The Galactic Front

August 20, 2026 – Run for cover, Troopers! Offworld, in partnership with publisher Knights Peak, has launched the free Update 12, “Attack on X-11,” for Starship Troopers: Extermination. Nearly doubling the size of the X-11 map, the update opens up new build locations, combat areas, and places to take on missions. 

On X-11, Bugs are no longer the only threat. Meteor Showers make their debut on the planet because threats on the ground just weren’t enough. The popular Galactic Front limited-time event also returns with new Perks and, of course, the Morita Mk 3. Check out the key highlights for Update 12 below:

X-11 Map Expansion

Planet X-11, located inside the rings of a gas giant, is a scientific and mining colony in the Tibannis System that houses a deep space listening post and the Teefang communication array for the federation. 


The expanded X-11 battlefield introduces new combat zones, build sites, and territory for Troopers to explore, including new missions across the planet:

  • 3 AAS
