Starship Troopers is one of those classic films that still has people’s interest. That’s why a new game based on the franchise is something we’re looking forward to. Unfortunately, the planned release at the end of this month of Starship Troopers – Terran Command has been delayed until June.
Slitherine Games and The Aristocrats announced yesterday that Starship Troopers – Terran Command will be delayed from its original March 31st release date. The new and definitive launch date will be June 16, 2022.
The official message from Slitherine Games and The The Artistocrats is as follows:
Today we are making an important announcement related to the release date. Starship Troopers – Terran Command won’t be releasing on March 31st as previously announced.
The new and definitive launch date will be June 16, 2022.
We know many will find this announcement disappointing and we apologize. We truly feel that a few extra months of further polish and bug fixing will make a significant difference.
We intend to deliver a finished and polished game, and it is very important for us that you are able to fully enjoy the game from day 1, without any issue spoiling your fun or without having to wait for future patches or hotfixes.
The game is now content complete and all remaining development time will be entirely focused on refining what already exists. We can’t wait to reveal more, and we plan to show you a lot in the months leading up to the launch in June.
Opinion
Naturally, at Controller Nerds we are disappointed but we also want a fully functioning game. Delays can be a good thing. First impressions when playing matter a lot and can really damage a brand. Looking at you Cyberpunk and No Mans Sky. Although both of those games have received updates that greatly improved things, everyone remembers the release. Delaying to avoid something like that? We have no problem with it. I know that I want to enjoy this game, not buy it and be so disappointed that I don’t play it again.
