In addition to these additions, there is also a new adventure, Murray revealed: “We made something very Starship Troopers-inspired, it’s really different and it takes you on some cool new adventures. planet.
I don’t know about you, but to me it sounds a bit like it took inspiration from Helldiver 2 for this mission, which is cool.
