PARIS (Dec. 5, 2025) — A new call to arms has been issued by publisher Dotemu, under the proud supervision of the United Citizen Federation, who announced the next step in humanity’s war against the Arachnid menace: Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War!, a retro-FPS developed by Auroch Digital, renowned for their work on Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun.

Join General Johnny Rico (played by Casper Van Dien from the Starship Troopers films) as he present the first official game of the Federation for any Civilian on the path to Citizenship:

Set 25 years after the events of the original Starship Troopers film, this heroic campaign follows war veteran Samantha Dietz as she recounts her hunt for the dreadful Assassin Bug during the First Bug War. Relive her experiences as you annihilate the Arachnids on their familiar home world of Klendathu and journey to all new worlds like Planet P and beyond in this streamlined solo campaign with access to a devastating arsenal of 14 weapons (including the iconic Morita rifle), 11 Tactical Supports and a Mech vehicle in a gloriously gory 3D pixelated combat simulation.

Citizens looking to prepare themselves to the fullest extent can utilize Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War!’s anti-bug combat training, where you can Play from the perspective of the Bugs, and prepare for the skills they need to erase the insectoid threat.
