Sony Pictures Virtual Reality and XR Games’ Starship Trooper VR title, Starship Troopers: Continuum, is officially headed to PlayStation VR2 and Meta Quest headsets towards the end of next month — and those interested can enlist to serve quite soon!

More specifically, the Meta Quest release will happen on October 17th with the PS VR2 experience hitting just a bit later on October 31st, 2024.  Either way, fans of the flick will be happy to know that Casper Van Dien is reprising his role as Johnny Rico even though the game is set 25 years after the events of the movie. You will not step into the virtual shoes of Rico however, instead you play the part of an experimental “PsyCommander” soldier with psychic powers designed to control units, and some first person weapons skills as well.  Continuum  features support for up to 3 players to squad up online, tons of weapons, customization and perks and more.
