First launched for Japan in 2022 (with 300,000 units shipped in its first week), D3 Publisher’s Earth Defense Force 6 is finally available in North America and Europe for PS4, PS5, and PC. Developed by Sandlot, it follows up on the previous game’s events, where the Earth is pretty much in ruins and the Primers return. Check out the launch trailer below.
With humanity more or less extinct, the plot sees the EDF going back in time to try and change history. It’s easier said than done, though, and players can look forward to roughly 150 missions – the most in the series to date. There’s also support for up to four players in co-op.
After its launch, Earth Defense Force 6 has garnered a “Mostly Negative” rating on Steam, with only 23 percent of its 657 user reviews positive. The backlash from the title mandating an Epic Games Store account to play online. Whether it was mistakenly added remains to be seen, so stay tuned for updates.
