Auroch Digital, the studio recognized for its work on Warhammer 40,000: Bolt Gun, has officially announced that their upcoming title, Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War!, will be launching for Nintendo Switch 2 as well as other gaming platforms in 2026.
The announcement was made alongside the debut of a dynamic trailer, showcasing the retro-inspired first-person shooter’s intense bug-slaying action and giving fans a strong sense of what to expect when the game arrives on Nintendo’s next-generation console. Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! draws from the iconic science fiction universe, immersing players in a new campaign that faithfully adapts the spirit and spectacle of the source material.
According to developer statements, the project emphasizes authenticity, challenging players to lead squads through extensive single-player missions teeming with secrets and overwhelming enemy hordes.
The solo campaign promises a deeply engaging experience for both longtime Starship Troopers fans and newcomers to the franchise. Auroch Digital highlights several standout features that set the title apart.
Players can expect an expansive arsenal, including over 30 recognizable weapons and items such as the classic Morita rifle, advanced mechanical bipeds, and powerful tactical nukes.
The development team has crafted a richly detailed world and original storyline, designed to honor the Federation’s enduring fight to save humanity from the relentless bug menace. A core pillar of the gameplay is its commitment to a retro first-person shooter experience, blending modern production values with classic mechanics.
In a rephrased statement from Auroch Digital: "We’ve poured our passion for the Starship Troopers universe into creating an in-depth training simulation—one where troopers on the path to citizenship can face genuine challenges and memorable encounters.
Our goal is to provide a unique and rewarding experience that’s both true to the iconic source material and accessible for a new generation of players." Notably, Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! will feature full-motion video and voice performances from original franchise character General Johnny Rico, now joined by an all-new Federation hero, Major Samantha Dietz.
This mix of classic and new faces is set to deliver an engaging narrative and elevate the campaign’s emotional stakes. Starship Troopers: Ultimate Bug War! joins a growing roster of third-party releases already confirmed for the Nintendo Switch 2, which is set to offer enhanced hardware capabilities and broader digital eShop support.
With the announcement, Auroch Digital is poised to further cement its reputation for quality retro shooter experiences.
