The Earth Defense Force franchise might not be the most pristine or mainstream gaming property around, but it’s picked up a sizeable and dedicated fanbase over the years, one that’s filled with players who’re all too happy to get fresh doses of its pulpy bug-shooting action once every few years. If you’re in that group, you’ll soon be getting another helping of the series’ offerings.
Earth Defense Force 6, which released for Japanese audiences back in 2022, has finally been given a specific release date in Western markets. Previously confirmed to be releasing in the West this spring before being pushed back into summer, D3 Publisher has now announced with a new trailer that the game will release in the west on July 25. The trailer, which is presented as an appropriately humorous live news report, can be viewed below.
Upon its release, Earth Defense Force 6 will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC.
