Casper Van Dien is proud of his portrayal of Johnny Rico over the years. He keeps returning to the franchise and reprising the character. This time around, he voices Johnny Rico in Starship Troopers: Continuum, the first VR game.

The video game is an online co-op game featuring sci-fi military-style combat against alien bugs. It is set 25 years after the Battle of Klendathu, featured in the original film Starship Troopers. The human race is still battling these creatures in this never-ending war.

Here is the official description:

Featuring Casper Van Dien reprising his role as the legendary “Johnny Rico,” Starship Troopers: Continuum is set twenty-five years after the Battle of Klendathu. The war between the Federation and the Arachnid is deadlocked, but the planet Janus-4 holds a secret that threatens to tip the balance of the war: The Continuum.

In the Continuum, you are an experiment, a PsyCommander, with advanced psychic powers!

• Control Troopers, rank them up, and try to keep them alive!
