**Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War Brings Retro FPS Action with Iconic Johnny Rico Return**

Starship Troopers has long been a franchise ripe for video game adaptations, and the latest announcement brings together two formidable forces in gaming. Publisher Dotemu is teaming up with Auroch Digital, the developers behind *Warhammer 40K: Boltgun*, to deliver *Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War*—a retro first-person shooter that promises to expand the Federation’s battle against the bugs like never before.

Unveiled at the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted showcase, *Ultimate Bug War* casts players in the boots of the Federation soldiers as they take their fight across the galaxy. What sets this game apart is its use of FMV cutscenes featuring none other than Johnny Rico himself, reprised by Casper Van Dien returning to his iconic role. This single-player campaign leans heavily into old-school shooting mechanics, offering players over 30 new weapons to wield against the insectoid menace.

Auroch Digital brings valuable experience to the table, having crafted the highly praised retro-style FPS *Warhammer 40K: Boltgun* in 2023. The developer is currently working on a sequel scheduled for release in 2026, showcasing their commitment to high-quality, nostalgia-infused shooters.

Dotemu and Auroch Digital are also emphasizing that *Ultimate Bug War* will push the beloved *Starship Troopers* lore forward. According to the announcement featured in PC Gamer, the story is set to take place after the events of *Starship Troopers 3*, with Johnny Rico now serving as a general, leading the Federation forces.

Fans can look forward to *Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War* launching in 2026 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Prepare to dive back into the bug war with a fresh storyline, classic FPS gameplay, and plenty of firepower.
