I've reported on this previously, but Offworld continues to progress their game, Starship Troopers: Extermination, with continued support in recent and upcoming patches. The latest update - Patch 1.5, also known as Phantom's Nest introduces new features, expands on existing game modes, and adds system improvements. Then the next planned patch - 1.6, coming around August promises even more with a new game mode, the first since Hive Hunt, as well as a new bug spawning system to ratchet up the intensity of every match.
From the press release, highlights of Update 1.5 include:
Hive Hunt expanded to 16 players, now featuring the new “Escort the Nuke” mission objective.
Horde mode has been rebalanced, and wave progression is time-based, not tied to the number of Bugs you kill.
New weapon: Morita II, with an unlockable modification—an experimental plasma launcher attachment that delivers high-impact, explosive firepower against Bugs (available to all classes upon reaching level 16).
New weapon Mods added for the Morita XXX and TW-2-R Sp.L.I.T Shotgun (Slug).
A major change to Galactic War mode, as well as bug fixes and quality of life improvements.
Patch 1.5 is out now for Startship Troopers: Extermination on PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and the Offworld shop, and for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This is of course coming after patch 1.4 from about a month ago that also received particularly high praise. That patch even got it's own trailer which I will embed below. Sadly 1.5 is not releasing with as much fanfare, but hopefully will be enjoyed every bit as much.
