Starship Troopers: Terran Command - Raising Hell · published
Troopers!
Next week, the 16h of June, is the third anniversary of Starship Troopers: Terran Command. To celebrate this - and to show you how we remain dedicated to supporting and expanding upon the game - we are sharing the year 4 roadmap today.
Without further ado, check the infographic below! But don’t stop there, as we go into more detail about its content further down in this post.
The first free update brings new content and improvements to the base game and both of the existing DLCs. New player units have been added to the Kwalasha campaign - and several are also available in the DLC campaigns. Many Kwalasha missions have also been updated to focus on these new units and to enhance the overall experience.
The Raising Hell DLC will also receive a small amount of new Mercenary unit types, along with significant improvements to its campaign missions. The Urban Onslaught campaign has additionally been updated with several changes to its missions, mostly focused on the new units.
In addition to all of the above, this update includes significant performance improvements, specifically targeting the slowdowns you may have experienced during long play sessions and on larger maps.
All this new content will be available in the Open Beta next month.
If you’ve been following our Dev Diaries, you know we have a new game mode - Territory Mode - in development. It offers unprecedented freedom in unit selection and tactics. Played on new maps crafted specifically for Territory Mode, you’ll battle the Arachnids to capture Territory Points, adding a fresh strategic layer to the game.
The base game and each DLC will get exclusive Territory Mode maps and their own unique Battle Group. Please see our last Dev Diary for full details, but in short: a Battle Group comprises a tailored set of unit types, technologies and gameplay mechanics - several available only to that group.
Choose your Battle Group and challenge the Arachnids across countless generated mission variations!
At the end of the year, we’ll release a new type of DLC that is focused exclusively on Territory Mode. Fight the Bugs on several new Territory Mode maps set on a brand new planet, with its own unique environment and bringing several new Arachnid unit types. Unlike the currently available DLCs, no story campaign will be included in this DLC. Instead, you’ll gain exclusive access to a uniquely themed Battle Group featuring its own units, technologies and gameplay mechanics.
Early next year another big “story campaign” DLC will drop. Similar in scope to the Raising Hell and Urban Onslaught DLCs, this will feature a brand new story campaign, set on a jungle planet and featuring new characters, new units and new Arachnids.
In addition to the campaign content, the DLC also expands Territory Mode with new maps and its own unique Battle Group - featuring the units available in the campaign, as well as new technologies and gameplay mechanics.
We hope you’re as excited as we are, Troopers - your war against the Bugs is only just getting started!
