XR Games’ game is coming soon, and the publisher will be Sony itself, but not the PlayStation branch, but Sony Pictures Virtual Reality!

Gear up, Trooper! The first and only Starship Troopers virtual reality game. The bug hunt is about to begin in Starship Troopers: Continuum, an intense online roguelike shooter that will push you and your squad to the limit. Inspired by the iconic universe of Starship Troopers, this game throws you into the heart of battle as part of an elite three-player squad. It’s been 25 years since the Battle of Klendathu, and the war between the Federation and the Arachnid has reached a stalemate. But the planet Janus-4 holds a secret that threatens to tip the balance of the war – one way or the other.

As you progress, gather resources, upgrade your equipment, and unlock powerful perks to improve your odds against increasingly deadly enemies. But beware, death is permanent, so once you’re down, it’s up to your team to survive or start over. Are you ready to serve the Federation and protect humanity? Remember, every mission is a new fight for survival in Starship Troopers: Continuum. Suit up, lock and load, and prove you have what it takes to crush the bug menace once and for all.

A new cohort of recruits is about to land at Camp Triumph, expecting light resistance from a minor bug infestation. Nope. Wrong! These recruits have just been thrown into hell! They are now the last Troopers standing between the Federation and total Arachnid domination!

Welcome to the Continuum, a psychic weapon created to end the war. You are an experiment, a PsyCommander, with advanced psychic powers! Control troopers, rank them, and try to keep them alive! Promote them to citizenship for big bonuses, and develop your own powers faster! Add psychic perks to create your perfect Trooper! They will fight, die, and fight again – and they will win! Team up and fight the war of the future against the most deadly enemy imaginable, with the lives of every human being on the line, in Starship Troopers: Continuum.

With PlayStation VR2, you’ll experience the full intensity of the battlefield like never before. Immerse yourself in visceral, fast-paced combat against waves of relentless bugs in thrilling player-versus-environment missions. The adaptive triggers make every weapon feel different, the controllers provide unique haptic feedback every time you fire a weapon, feel the bugs approaching in the headset, and the device supports eye-tracking for foveated rendering.

“We are incredibly excited to be working with XR Games to bring Starship Troopers: Continuum to life in virtual reality. The energy, atmosphere and action of Starship Troopers is perfect for virtual reality, and we can’t wait for fans to fight the bugs and join Johnny Rico in virtual reality for the first time,” said Lance Sloane, senior vice president of Sony Pictures Virtual Reality, in a press release. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to be working with Sony Pictures again to bring the legendary Starship Troopers franchise to virtual reality. By being immersed in the action like never before, players will have the opportunity to become a trooper, fight the bugs and experience the Starship Troopers universe in a whole new way,” added Bobby Thandi, founder and CEO of XR Games.

Starship Troopers: Continuum will be released on October 17th for Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 2 and on October 31st for PlayStation VR2.
