We recently contrasted the promotional strategies employed by games Warhammer 40K: Darktide and Marvel's Midnight Suns. A light tickle versus saturation bombing.

As announced and on time, Warner Bros. have introduced the new 4 player co-op Heroic Assault content featuring interstellar villain Starro, and with it also a surprise 2 player co-op supercharged villain Showdown mode for action roleplaying game Gotham Knights.

Following the successful real time strategy game Terran Command which released in June, we have an announcement for another Starship Troopers title, Extermination. A co-op first person builder and shooter.

At a time when many eyes would be on a cutting edge, potentially even redefining the genre horror game like The Callisto Protocol, it's charming to see some old school scare.
Which comes courtesy of Starward Industries in the faux documentaryLife on Regis III to promote their upcoming retro futuristic adventure game The Invincible.

In a sure sign of confidence, developers of The Callisto Protocol have listed a Digital Deluxe Edition on Steam which includes, among other things, a season pass and "story DLC" (downloadable content).
Gamers would be familiar with developers dodging the question of potential of DLC before a game's launch.
