A few days ago, Sony Pictures was teasing something related to Starship Troopers and PlayStation VR2. Turns out it was Starship Troopers: Continuum, a new online roguelike shooter for PSVR2 that arrives on October 31st.
A PlayStation Blog post on the game goes into more detail on what the game is about. But essentially, you choose a trooper, kill bugs, earn experience, die and get rewards. If you survive long enough you can retire your trooper into citizenship or don’t and die and try again.
Here’s the description of the game from the PlayStation Store.
Gear up, trooper!
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 limits. Inspired by the iconic universe of Starship Troopers, this game thrusts you into the heart of battle as part of an elite 3-player squad.
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 PvE missions.
As you progress, collect resources, upgrade your gear, and unlock powerful perks to enhance your chances against increasingly deadly foes. But beware, death is permanent, so once you’re down it’s up to your team to survive, or start from scratch.
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 that you have what it takes to crush the Bug threat once and for all.
Being a game built for PlayStation VR2, Starship Troopers: Continuum naturally includes some PSVR2-specific features:
- Adaptive triggers: making every weapon feel different
- Controller haptics: unique haptic feedback every time you fire a weapon
- Headset rumble: feel the bugs approaching in the headset
- Eye-tracking: supports eye-tracking for foveated rendering
Starship Troopers: Continuum is out for PSVR2 on October 31st.
