Los Angeles – September 30, 2024 – Sony Pictures Virtual Reality (SPVR) and XR Games are proud to announce that the world of Starship Troopers is coming to VR with the announcement of Starship Troopers: Continuum, arriving on Meta Quest 2 and 3 on October 17 2024, and PlayStation VR2 on October 31 2024.

Featuring Casper Van Dien reprising his role as the legendary ‘Johnny Rico’, Starship Troopers: Continuum is set 25 years after the Battle of Klendathu. The war between the Federation and the Arachnid is deadlocked, but the planet Janus-4 holds a secret that threatens to tip the balance of the war; The Continuum.

In the Continuum you are an experiment, a PsyCommander, with advanced psychic powers!

  • Control Troopers, rank them up, and try to keep them alive!
  • Promote them to citizenship for big bonuses, and advance your own powers faster!
  • Add psychic perks to build your perfect Trooper!
  • They will fight, die, and fight again - and they will win!

Key features of Starship Troopers: Continuum include:

  • 3 player online squad-based combat - team up to survive!
  • 20+ weapons - aim well and reload quickly if you want to live! 
  • The classic bugs return and bring new friends - all mean, all hungry, all lethal!
  • Boss battles against Tankers and Plasmas - plus something new!
  • Epic missions in both familiar and unexplored terrain - bugs can come from anywhere!

"We’re excited to work with XR Games to bring Starship Troopers: Continuum to life in VR,” said Lance Sloane, SVP, Virtual Reality, Sony Pictures Entertainment. “The energy, atmosphere and action of Starship Troopers is perfect to experience in virtual reality. We can’t wait for fans to fight the bugs and fully immerse themselves in the world of Starship Troopers in VR for the first time.”

"We couldn’t be more thrilled to work with Sony Pictures again to bring the legendary Starship Troopers franchise to VR,” said Bobby Thandi, Founder and CEO of XR Games. “By stepping directly into the action like never before, players will get the chance to become a trooper, battle the bugs, and experience the Starship Troopers universe in an entirely new way."

Team up and fight the war of the future against the most lethal enemy imaginable, with the life of every living human being at stake, in Starship Troopers: Continuum when it launches on Meta Quest 2 and 3 on October 17 and comes to PlayStation VR2 on October 31.

In addition, there are many other ways this October to kill Bugs! Starship Troopers: Extermination, the 16-player co-op FPS developed by Offworld Industries and published for consoles by Knights Peak, will arrive on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S on October 11. On that same date, the title also launches out of Early Access into 1.0 on PC.
