Fans of stomping Bugs in Slitherine Software and The Artistocrats’ strategy game Starship Troopers: Terran Command have more action on the way with the announcement of a second DLC in “Urban Onslaught”. On the heels of “Raising Hell” four months ago, “Urban Onslaught” is an eight-mission story campaign set for release this June that is focused on “tactically rich, open maps.”

The new DLC moves the action from desolate rocky planets to the city streets. The Arachnid onslaught has reduced cities to rubble and the homes of citizens are in great peril. Bug hordes are encroaching on the central districts and local police forces have been completely overwhelmed. The responsibility now falls on the shoulders of the player to lead the Mobile Infantry to victory and reclaim this beacon of human civilization.

As well as adding a new environment to wage war in, Urban Onslaught expands upon the Arachnid -squashing action in new ways. The DLC adds eight new unit types for the player, including mechanized missile launchers, hovering autocannons and airborne gunships, four new Arachnid unit types, and two new challenge missions.

Here’s the breakdown for Urban Onslaught:

  • A new planet, a new environment: Squash the Bugs in city streets, liberate a massive airport, clear internal buildings and venture through underground basements, sewers and metro lines.
  • 8 mission story campaign, focused on open maps that offer tactical freedom.
  • 2 new challenge missions.
  • 8 new player units, including mechanized missile launchers, hovering autocannons and airborne gunships.
  • 4 new Arachnid unit types.

Urban Onslaught can be wishlisted now on Steam.

Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.

Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”

Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.

And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
