Evaluation

Starship Troopers: Terran Command launched on June 16, 2022 and has received a sustained stream of major content since then. Three paid DLC expansions have shipped: Raising Hell (November 15, 2023), Urban Onslaught (June 18, 2024), and The Eradicators (May 26, 2026). The developer also delivered a substantial free Territory Mode update on October 21, 2025, introducing a brand-new game mode with new maps across all existing content. The game has been actively patched as recently as July 28, 2026, with achievements added to The Eradicators DLC. Most decisively, on August 6, 2026 — just 19 days before today — the developer posted an official announcement confirming a new DLC is in active development. Set on the jungle planet Vega-V, this expansion will include 9 new player units, 4 new Arachnid types, a 9-mission story campaign, and more than 5 new Territory Mode maps. No release date has been given, but the developer is actively teasing details and promises more information to follow. This announcement aligns with the "Early 2026 Story Campaign DLC on a jungle planet" outlined in the June 2025 Year 4 roadmap — it appears that DLC was delayed beyond its original target window and is now confirmed as actively in development. The developer has not made any statement indicating the game's content development is winding down.

About this game

The population of the harsh desert planet Kwalasha needs our help. Their peaceful lives, working in the mining industry, have been disturbed by a threat that they cannot face alone: the Arachnids. Under Colonel Hawthorne’s command, the Mobile Infantry will take back control of the planet and smash everything that has more than two legs. Enlist in this exciting military campaign, meet inspiring characters, visit amazing locations and do your part in the heroic war against the Bug!

The Arachnids may have virtually limitless numbers, but they lack the thorough tactical training that the Mobile Infantry enjoys. Position your units in advantageous choke points or on higher elevations. Be wary, however, that battle mechanics such as True Line of Sight and True Line of Fire may limit your field of fire and allow the treacherous Bugs to lay in ambush.

Optimize your army by choosing from a wide range of specialized unit types, each with its own strengths, weaknesses and set of unlockable elite abilities. Rifle Troopers can use their shotgun ability to hold back large numbers of Arachnids, M11 Marauders bipeds can unleash a withering mortar barrage and the Fleet Liaison can call down dropships with reinforcements or direct an airstrike to wipe out whole swaths of enemies.

The Bug infestation is rooted in elaborate underground hives. These present a unique challenge that demands a delicate balance between aggression and defense. Beware of the numerous tunnel openings, from which hordes of Arachnids can emerge.

To eradicate the Bug problem for good, their nests must be eradicated!

Territory Mode 

Territory Mode offers a new way to play, with a focus on freedom of choice and tactics. It features new maps crafted specifically for the game mode. You’ll battle the Arachnids for control of Territory Points - which provide a steady flow of resources - adding a fresh strategic layer to the game.

  • The Ground Pounders (Included in the base game)

  • The Hell Raisers (Available to owners of the “Raising Hell” DLC)

  • The Peacekeepers (Available to owners of the “Urban Onslaught DLC)

Added 27 Unique Territory Mode Maps:

  • 11 maps in the base game.

  • 9 maps in the Raising Hell DLC.

  • 7 maps in the Urban Onslaught DLC.
