Punch In, Clean Up, Get Paid: Introducing Exterminauts
Behaviour Interactive is thrilled to finally pull back the curtain on Exterminauts, a brand-new original IP developed in partnership with Level Infinite and TEAM SHOOTER & CREATIVE. First revealed at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, Exterminauts is a gritty third-person co-op PvE shooter arriving on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in 2027.
Exterminauts sends players to the alien world of Tian in the boots of a blue-collar crew of galactic field technicians. Their task? Exterminate alien threats, repair critical infrastructure, and – if all goes well – live long enough to enjoy their paychecks.
Five Years of Punching In
For Behaviour and its partners, Exterminauts’ Gamescom debut marks the culmination of five years of dedicated development, collaboration, and creativity. Over that time, the Exterminauts team has worked tirelessly to bring an all-new universe to life, from establishing its distinctive blue-collar sci-fi DNA, to building the systems, tech, environments, combat mechanics, and co-op gameplay that drives the experience.
Behaviour’s collaboration with Level Infinite and TEAM SHOOTER & CREATIVE has been the bedrock of Exterminauts’ development. From the earliest stages of the project, these partners have shared a joint drive to create something unique: a co-op experience where tactile sci-fi action meets the unguarded attitude of a crew trying to polish off the dirtiest job in the universe – and then clock out and crack a beer.
“ Exterminauts represents ambitious original IP, and it exists at this scale thanks to our partnership with Level Infinite and TEAM SHOOTER & CREATIVE,” said Louis-Pierre Pharand, VP & Executive Producer at Behaviour Interactive. “Our partners understood the idea from day one and have backed it ever since. After years in development, we’re proud to finally share Exterminauts with players.”
Built at Behaviour
For nearly thirty-five years, Behaviour has built games alongside some of the gaming industry’s biggest partners, bringing together creative talent, technical expertise, and large-scale production capabilities to tackle projects of all shapes and sizes.
Exterminauts is yet another example of what these partnerships can yield.
From concept to production, Behaviour’s teams led the creation of both Exterminauts and its world, tackling the variety of creative and technical challenges that accompany an original vision, all while working closely alongside the studio’s valued partners.
There’s still plenty of work ahead, and a lot more to share in the coming months. Good thing we brought the right crew for the job.
Exterminauts launches in 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
