It’s official! A North American Earth Defense Force 6 release is finally happening, and you can expect it to invade our (and Europe’s) shores sometime in Spring 2024.
D3Publisher announced today that Western fans of its highly popular third-person shooter, giant monster, and alien franchise, Earth Defence Force, can expect the sixth iteration to arrive in the Spring of 2024. Like the recently announced Asia release, fans can expect this version to be fully translated and dubbed when it releases next year.

I’m not sure how many EDF readers we have, but I am excited to see this finally happening after almost two years of being exclusive in Japan. The EDF franchise has been going strong for good reasons, as it offers countless hours of sheer, senseless fun. Plus, who doesn’t like the idea of fighting giant bugs and massive Godzilla-like creatures?
I hope to see you all on the battlefield next year, and remember — EDF!!! EDF!!! EDF!!! EDF!!!
