Interstellar Marines Update 14: Tactical Incursion Brings New Maps and Modes

A new update is hitting Zero Point Software’s PC, Mac, and Linux shooter, Interstellar Marines, that will introduce three co-op and single player maps along with three new game modes.

Update 14: Tactical Incursion follows last month’s NeuroGen Incident update, which added new co-op and story elements to the game.

In this new update, now live, the co-op game modes Survival and Elimination have been added to community-favorite maps Operations and Stronghold, respectively. Nucleus, the demo that was showcased at PAX Prime 2014, has also been updated and can now be played in the Escape co-op mode. New ‘mystery’ updates were also made to Get Killed by Bots.

You can check out the full list of fixes and tweaks in the official Update 14 changelog below. There’s also a new video overview the studio put together that you can watch above!
