Dotemu has confirmed a release date for Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War, the retro-styled first-person shooter inspired by the classic bug-blasting franchise, arriving on PS5 on 16 March 2026. A fresh trailer released alongside the date showcases gameplay footage and the game's old-school visual and combat sensibilities. The presentation positions the title as a single-player experience built around relentless insect encounters and fast-paced action that could appeal to fans of intense solo shooters.

  • Release details: Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War will launch on PS5 on 16 March 2026, following its initial reveal late last year.
  • Publisher: Dotemu is handling the game, continuing its trend of reviving retro-minded properties for modern platforms.
  • Gameplay shown: The new trailer offers a look at combat against swarming alien bugs, highlighting a nostalgic aesthetic and arcade-style shooting loops rather than modern military realism.
  • Single-player focus with a familiar feel: The game leans into solitary, high-energy encounters and chaotic frontline skirmishes—an experience the announcement compares to the solo intensity seen in recent cooperative shooters.
