After spending just over a year in Early Access, developer Offworld Industries has announce that Starship Troopers: Extermination will be leaving the service with its 1.0 launch on October 11. In addition, Starship Troopers alumni Casper Van Dien announced that his iconic character Johnny Rico will return in in the game, commanding players in a new, single-player game mode included in the 1.0 launch.

The new game mode is an entirely single-player focus, offering 25 distinct missions and a variety of PvE combat scenarios across multiple environments, with a second chapter arriving post-launch.
