Sony Pictures Virtual Reality (SPVR) and XR Games have announced Starship Troopers: Continuum, an all-new VR experience launching on Meta Quest 2 and 3 on October 17, 2024. Fans of the Starship Troopers universe will soon be able to dive into the bug-filled chaos like never before, with this action-packed release bringing the infamous battle between humans and the Arachnids into the immersive world of virtual reality.
Starship Troopers in Virtual Reality
Starship Troopers: Continuum is set 25 years after the events of the Battle of Klendathu and sees players take on the role of a PsyCommander, a trooper with advanced psychic powers. The game features a unique twist on the traditional first-person shooter format by combining tactical troop management with fast-paced VR combat. Players will control their squad of troopers, rank them up, and use psychic powers to help turn the tide in their favour.
For Meta Quest 2 and 3 players, the game’s immersive mechanics will allow for intuitive control of troopers and thrilling battles against the iconic bugs from the Starship Troopers universe. The game promises to push VR headsets to their limits, bringing a rich, detailed experience to Meta’s platforms.

With voice-acting from Starship Troopers actor Casper Van Dien, reprising his role as Johnny Rico, Continuum brings a nostalgic edge for fans of the original films, while introducing new elements that make the most of modern VR capabilities.
