Ten-hut Troopers!

The Eradicators DLC for Starship Troopers: Terran Command will drop on the 26th of May!

Time to declassify a comprehensive overview of the new story campaign, units, and gameplay mechanics included in the DLC. Review the following intel to prepare for deployment!

A Story campaign with Territory Mode mechanics

Although we originally stated that this DLC would not include a story campaign, we have decided to change course. As we developed the expansion's exclusive content—including new units, abilities, Arachnid variants, and environments—it became clear that these features deserved to be introduced through an immersive narrative.

The gameplay is driven by Territory Mode mechanics, but is tied together in a unique 10-mission story campaign: You - and your faithful adjutant - will assist Doctor Kraus, the lead scientist on Planet Ghutana, with his research initiatives. This narrative culminates in the Hercules Program: a multi-staged operation with the ultimate goal of capturing the Hydra, a monstrous Arachnid variant endemic to Ghutana.

You’ll be using Territory Mode mechanics such as capturing Territory Points to gain resources and spend these to unit new units, upgrades and construct defenses. Meanwhile, in addition to the story-specific events that take place during missions, you’ll be fighting against the dynamic Arachnid AI we have developed for the Territory Mode.

Chemical, Radiation and Biological weapons

This expansion features 10 new player units. These are introduced progressively during the campaign and are also playable in standalone Territory Mode missions via the Eradicators Battle Group.

Equipped with experimental and prototype weaponry, these units represent the cutting edge of Federation technology. Highlights include:

XM3-C Alchemist: This lightly armored biped is equipped to unleash a cocktail of deadly acid-based weapons. Its robotic arm also allows it to construct various defensive structures and weapons.

Missile Specialists: This squad is equipped with a multi-barreled Rocket Launcher to counter heavily armored threats. They also have the authorization to call in strikes from any Missile Silo in the sector. The latter can be deployed on any delivery platform.

XM11-K Annihilator: This experimental configuration of the M11 biped is armed with a powerful radiation weapon and dual missile launchers. In addition, its nuclear reactor can boost the performance of nearby Irradiator squads.

Horde Handlers: These specialists direct a pack of pheromone-drugged Bugs against enemy units. They are equipped with air pressure guns that fire poison darts. The unit can also construct Bug Cages, new defensive emplacements that release bio-chemically reprogrammed Arachnids against attacking hostiles.

XM9-B Overseer: This heavy biped specializes in advanced pheromone weapon technology. It can launch “Pheromone Disruptor” darts that turn the larger Arachnids types against their own hive, or “Deep Intelligence Manipulation” (D.I.M.) darts to take direct control over an individual specimen.

New Arachnid abilities

Each of the large Arachnid variants - Tankers, Scorpions, Acid Grenadiers, Plasma Grenadiers, Immolators and Ravagers - now have a unique ability that you can use after capturing a specimen through the Overseer unit’s D.I.M. dart launcher.

Hostile tankers and Scorpions will also employ their new abilities against you - so if your troopers get in range, expect an unpleasant surprise!

Ghutana’s new Arachnid variants

The harsh, polluted environment of Ghutana is a breeding ground for various new Arachnid variants:

Buzzer Drone: A small Arachnid variant bred for speed and chaos. When an enemy is nearby, the creature uses its wings to dash across the terrain with great speed.

Geiger Bug: A sickly and heavily mutated Arachnid type which detonates when it attacks an enemy, or when it is killed. This explosion deals short range blast damage, as well as radiation damage over a wider radius.

Acid Grenadier: The Acid Grenadier is a large, well armored Bug type that launches globs of a volatile substance toward their enemies. These projectiles generally transmute into corrosive acid on impact, but curiously, some globs have been found to contain live Buzzer Drones. How this symbiosis between Acid Grenadiers and Buzzers is initiated is currently unknown.

Territory Mode content recap

Every unit, technology and ability that the Eradicators bring to the story campaign is also available for standalone Territory Mode missions.

As with any other Territory Mode Battle Group, you can unlock new cosmetics and play missions on the planets from any other DLC that you own (as well as the base game’s Kwalasha planet). In addition, you can play Territory Mode missions on the new Ghutana planet with all of the other Battle Groups.

That’s all for now, Trooper! Do your part and wishlist The Eradicators DLC today!

Included in this DLC:

• New planet/environment

• 7 new player units

• 4 new Arachnid units

• 10 new Territory Maps

• New technologies

• New objectives

Note: this DLC does not include a story campaign

Launched in June 2022, Starship Troopers: Terran Command brought the RTS genre back into the spotlight, winning the hearts of strategy fans and securing over 85% positive reviews on Steam. Now, a new era begins for the game. This major free update introduces a brand-new game mode that grants players unprecedented freedom to mix and match content from the base game and all of its DLCs.  This innovation lays the foundation for more frequent updates and fresh content in the future — ensuring that the war against the Arachnids is far from over.

Territory Mode

• The Ground Pounders (Included in the base game)

• The Hell Raisers (Available to owners of the “Raising Hell” DLC)

• The Peacekeepers (Available to owners of the “Urban Onslaught DLC)

• 11 maps in the base game.

• 9 maps in the Raising Hell DLC.

• 7 maps in the Urban Onslaught DLC.

Daily Deal

To celebrate the launch of the brand-new Territory Mode, Starship Troopers: Terran Command will take part in a special Daily Deal from October 21st at 7.00pm CEST to October 28th, offering 45% off the base game. It’s the perfect time to enlist and experience the ultimate evolution of the Federation’s war against the Bugs.

EGX

fering a sneak peek at the campaigns from the base game and the two DLCs: Raising Hell and Urban Onslaught. Furthermore, the Territory Mode will be available to play, a new, revolutionary game mode that adds a strategic layer of depth to the game.

Next week, the new Territory Mode will become accessible for free to all players on the main game branch. After a period of closed and open beta testing, we are now eager to gather feedback from our broader community while we continue to add more content, features and improvements.

A quick recap: Territory Mode offers a new way to play, with a focus on freedom of choice and tactics. It is played on new maps crafted specifically for the game mode. You’ll battle the Arachnids for control of Territory Points - which provide a steady flow of resources - adding a fresh strategic layer to the game.

Choose your Battle Group

A Battle Group consists of a set of units, turrets and abilities, allowing for different strategies and experiences in Territory Mode battles.

The currently available Battle Groups:

• The Ground Pounders: Hardened veterans of the brutal desert war on Kwalasha. Command the classic Mk. II Troopers, blast through bigger problems with Rocket Troopers, and clear the way with various M-11 Marauder variants.

• The Hell Raisers: A band of fearless mercenaries operating on behalf of the Federation. Wreak havoc with Shredder and Frag Mercs, defend and destroy with the Heavy Drilling Biped, and burn the Bugs down with a flamethrower-equipped M-11 Marauder! (Available to owners of the “Raising Hell” DLC.)

• The Peacekeepers: The Federation's elite military police. Overwhelm your enemies with the J.A.C. Trooper, protect your forces with Riot Shield Troopers, command the skies with the Pegasus Gunship, and rain down hellfire with the M23 Rainmaker Artillery. (Available to owners of the “Urban Onslaught DLC.)

As part of the base game, all players have access to the “Ground Pounders” Battle Group. Each of the current DLCs includes its own Battle Group, which features units from their respective campaigns alongside some units from the base game. 

Battle Group Technologies

Each Battle Group also comes with a set of Technologies, which can be researched in battle to unlock unit types, abilities or enhanced unit performance.

Missions across the galaxy

Once a Battle Group is selected, the Galaxy War screen allows you to choose your next mission. These missions can take you to the base game's desert world, Kwalasha; the volcanic planet of Gehenna; or the cityscape of Managar on planet Varuna. The last two are available only if you own the respective DLCs. Each planet presents its own distinct set of maps, mission objectives and unique Arachnid threats, ensuring every mission feels fresh and challenging.

Territory Mode features a total of 27 unique maps if you own all the DLC’s:

• 11 maps in the base game.

• 9 maps in the Raising Hell DLC.

• 7 maps in the Urban Onslaught DLC.

Ownership of any DLC grants access to its specific Battle Group and enables you to play missions with all other Battle Groups on that DLC's planet.

Fight for Territory

To succeed in Territory Mode, your primary objective is to capture and hold Territory Points to gain and maintain control of the battlefield. Securing key positions at critical moments is crucial and often determines victory.

Be prepared for a fierce fight, as the Arachnids will not give up easily. As the mission progresses, their strength increases. They'll launch relentless counter-attacks, reinforce their territory with stronger units, and construct nests to solidify their control over a position.

A new, vital resource is introduced in Territory Mode. You use these resources to purchase units, reinforce squads that have taken casualties, and unlock Technologies. Unlike Supplies, this new resource is not refunded when you take casualties, so spending it wisely is crucial. Territory Points must be captured and held to generate a steady income of resources over time.

Gain Prestige

Progress in Territory Mode is tracked individually for each Battle Group. Completing missions gives you access to additional Technologies, and unlocks cosmetic rewards.

Finally, we extend our gratitude to all beta participants for their invaluable contributions in identifying and eliminating bugs. Your dedication was instrumental.

We’ll see you in battle on the 21st. Service guarantees citizenship!

Content Update Beta begins today!

Attention Troopers!

Another major free content update is now LIVE on the Open Beta branch! This update brings new units, mission improvements, and performance improvements to the base game and both DLCs.

Note that all Territory Mode content has been disabled in this beta update, but expect another major update for this upcoming new game mode soon. Please see the bottom of this post if you want to access the old Territory Mode beta on a separate Steam branch.

Base game: New units & improvements

The Kwalasha campaign adds new units with unique roles. The M4A Grinder is a light weapons platform capable of delivering rapid fire. Two new bipeds - the M9A Sledgehammer, which carries a heavy mortar for long-range support, and the M6A Jaeger with its heavy anti-armor gun and spotter drone - provide new mobile firepower. And finally, the Fortis E-Pulse Troopers wear heavy armor suits for a strong frontline defense.

Raising Hell DLC: New units & improvements

New mercenary units and mission updates add versatile support to the field. The Drilling Biped is a rugged vehicle that repairs machines, builds defenses, and holds its own in close combat. The Hunter-Killer Merc is quite the opposite: delivering precise long-range strikes, aided by a companion drone for spotting and close support. Lastly, the Merc Squad has also been upgraded with varied weapons for greater adaptability.

Urban Onslaught DLC: Improvements

Missions have been updated to feature the new units and the A-12 Pegasus gunship can now unleash relentless rocket barrages on designated areas on the ground.

Many missions have been rebalanced or updated, integrating these new units in their respective campaigns. We recommend you start a new playthrough to get the best experience! 

Performance improvements

Significant optimizations alleviate the slowdown experienced during long play sessions and on larger maps, ensuring smoother gameplay across the board. However, this is still in Beta, and we are working on more improvements.

Note to our Map Makers

This update includes significant balance changes! If you're creating or maintaining custom maps, be sure to playtest your maps to ensure everything still plays as intended. 

We’ve also added a few new decorations—and we can’t wait to see how you’ll use them in your creative community maps!

Troopers!

Next week, the 16h of June, is the third anniversary of Starship Troopers: Terran Command. To celebrate this - and to show you how we remain dedicated to supporting and expanding upon the game - we are sharing the year 4 roadmap today.

Without further ado, check the infographic below! But don’t stop there, as we go into more detail about its content further down in this post.

Campaign Update | Summer 2025

The first free update brings new content and improvements to the base game and both of the existing DLCs. New player units have been added to the Kwalasha campaign - and several are also available in the DLC campaigns. Many Kwalasha missions have also been updated to focus on these new units and to enhance the overall experience.

The Raising Hell DLC will also receive a small amount of new Mercenary unit types, along with significant improvements to its campaign missions. The Urban Onslaught campaign has additionally been updated with several changes to its missions, mostly focused on the new units.

In addition to all of the above, this update includes significant performance improvements, specifically targeting the slowdowns you may have experienced during long play sessions and on larger maps.

All this new content will be available in the Open Beta next month.

Territory Mode | Autumn 2025

If you’ve been following our Dev Diaries, you know we have a new game mode - Territory Mode - in development. It offers unprecedented freedom in unit selection and tactics. Played on new maps crafted specifically for Territory Mode, you’ll battle the Arachnids to capture Territory Points, adding a fresh strategic layer to the game.

The base game and each DLC will get exclusive Territory Mode maps and their own unique Battle Group. Please see our last Dev Diary for full details, but in short: a Battle Group comprises a tailored set of unit types, technologies and gameplay mechanics - several available only to that group.

Choose your Battle Group and challenge the Arachnids across countless generated mission variations!

First “Battle Group” DLC | End of 2025

At the end of the year, we’ll release a new type of DLC that is focused exclusively on Territory Mode. Fight the Bugs on several new Territory Mode maps set on a brand new planet, with its own unique environment and bringing several new Arachnid unit types. Unlike the currently available DLCs, no story campaign will be included in this DLC. Instead, you’ll gain exclusive access to a uniquely themed Battle Group featuring its own units, technologies and gameplay mechanics.

New “Story Campaign” DLC | Early 2026

Early next year another big “story campaign” DLC will drop. Similar in scope to the Raising Hell and Urban Onslaught DLCs, this will feature a brand new story campaign, set on a jungle planet and featuring new characters, new units and new Arachnids.

In addition to the campaign content, the DLC also expands Territory Mode with new maps and its own unique Battle Group - featuring the units available in the campaign, as well as new technologies and gameplay mechanics.

We hope you’re as excited as we are, Troopers - your war against the Bugs is only just getting started!
