Earth Defense Force 6 Release Date

D3 Publisher and Sandlot have officially announced that Earth Defense Force 6 will be coming to PS4, PS5, and PC in the West on July 25, 2024.

Originally released in Japan in 2022, Earth Defense Force 6 is the latest installment in the popular sci-fi shooter series.

In this new chapter, set in the year 2024 AD, humanity has emerged victorious in its battle against the unknown invaders. However, despite the peace that has returned to Earth, the population has dwindled to just 10%, placing the world on the brink of collapse. As survivors strive to rebuild and combat remaining threats, three years have passed, leading to a new era of struggle in 2027.

The true identity of the long-standing enemy that has plagued Earth is finally revealed, bringing a deep sense of despair to a devastated world. But as a soldier of the Earth Defense Force, your presence will bring hope and joy to humanity. It is now up to you to confront these challenges with bravery and intelligence.

Earth Defense Force 6 boasts the largest number of missions and weapons ever seen in the series.
