In Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! you can play as bugs — watch the trailer
“Know your enemy as yourself and you will always win”: the latest trailer for Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! (Auroch Digital + Dotemu) turns that proverb into a gameplay pitch: you see the fight from the other side. It’s oddly satisfying and a bit gross — I admit to being curious how the devs balance fear and fun.
There’s a "Bug" mode where you inhabit arachnid roles across four training zones, facing off vs. mobile infantry in asymmetric skirmishes. The main bug can switch between three attack approaches — a warrior build, a jumper (fast, close-range), and a tanky bruiser — and it uses pheromone spray to steer nearby allies, e.g., directing swarms toward targets; nests serve to recruit reinforcements.
Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! will release on March 16, 2026 for PC (Steam, GOG), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch.
