Empire snags Starship Troopers licence

Empire announced at E3 its five-year licensing deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment, enabling them to develop and publish an official Starship Troopers title based on the movie and animated series. We have to admit that the Starship Troopers license lends itself well to a videogame context, and thus far all we've seen is a decidedly average RTS from Microprose three years ago. No details yet about what type of game we're going to see from Empire, but we'd put money on a squad-based FPS.
