In a thrilling fusion of intergalactic adventure and immersive technology, Starship Troopers: Continuum is set to revolutionize the VR gaming landscape with its cooperative shooter experience, dropping onto Oculus Quest and PlayStation VR2 platforms in the coming months.
The latest collaboration between XR Games and Sony Pictures Digital Reality (SPVR), Starship Troopers: Continuum, arrives as a follow-up to Zombieland: Headshot Fever Reloaded, previously teased last week. Twenty-five years have passed since the pivotal Battle of Klendathu in the 1997 film, and Casper Van Dien once again assumes the role of the indomitable Johnny Rico. In a testament to its enduring appeal, Continuum now offers players the opportunity to engage in three-player online co-op, as well as solo gameplay for those who prefer a more independent experience.
As the war between the Federation and the Arachnid reaches a stalemate, you take on the role of a PsyCommander, harnessing your superior psychic abilities to outmaneuver the enemy and gradually unveil new powers via a system of perks. You can manage Troopers to level them up and keep them alive, while selling them to citizens earns bonuses and accelerates your power growth accordingly? Boss battles against Tankers, Plasmas, and a fresh surprise await.
The sci-fi franchise that has sparked debate among fans and critics alike with its recent revival is not Continuum, but rather a reboot of Starship Troopers. While being the initial gateway to success on VR platforms remains crucial, a growing momentum is driving innovation and the development of fresh approaches. The final year saw the early release of 16-player co-op first-person shooter Starship Troopers: Extermination on flat-screen platforms, while Starship Troopers: Terran Command, a real-time strategy game, was exclusively launched on PC.
Starship Troopers: Continuum lands on Meta Quest October 17 and makes its debut on PlayStation VR2 October 31. According to UploadVR, XR video game developers do not have plans for a Steam release.
