Sony Pictures Virtual Reality (SPVR) and XR Games have announced that the world of Starship Troopers is coming to VR with Starship Troopers Continuum, set to launch on Meta Quest 2 and 3 on October 17 and on PlayStation VR2 on October 31. To mark the occasion, a trailer has been released, which you can watch at the end of the article.
With Casper Van Dien reprising his role as the legendary Johnny Rico, Starship Troopers: Continuum takes place 25 years after the Battle of Klendathu. The war between the Federation and the Arachnids has reached a stalemate, but the planet Janus-4 hides a secret that threatens to alter the balance of the war: the Continuum.
Lance Sloane, SVP of Virtual Reality at Sony Pictures Entertainment, stated: “We are thrilled to be working with XR Games to bring Starship Troopers: Continuum to VR. The energy, atmosphere, and action of Starship Troopers are perfect for experiencing in virtual reality. We can’t wait for fans to fight the bugs and fully immerse themselves in the world of Starship Troopers in VR for the first time.”
Bobby Thandi, founder and CEO of XR Games, commented: “We couldn’t be more excited to partner again with Sony Pictures to bring the legendary Starship Troopers franchise to VR. By stepping directly into the action like never before, players will have the opportunity to become a trooper, fight the bugs, and experience the Starship Troopers universe in a completely new way.”
