D3Publisher has announced that Earth Defense Force 6–which initially launched in Japan in August 2022–will be traveling West on both PlayStation and PC next spring.
EDF 6 is set two years after the previous game, which saw humans victorious against a race of invading aliens called Primers. Some Primers managed to survive, however, and conflicts continue to surface between the two sides on what remains of Earth, as 90% of the planet’s population has been destroyed.
Players will choose between multiple classes–Air Raider, Fencer, Ranger, and Wing Diver–as they fight against the Primers and their hordes of massive monsters. The game will offer “hundreds” of missions, new weapons and abilities for each class, and the ability for both two-player local split screen co-op and four-player online co-op.
