Earth Defense Force isn't exactly obscure, but it remains a sleeper series in the gaming world at large. Earth Defense Force 6 recently launched in Japan, however, where it has outsold all previous entries. D3 Publisher has also released some choice EDF merchandise, including replicas of the items that every EDF player loves to collect: Weapon,...
Earth Defense Force 6, the latest game in Sandlot and D3 Publisher's long-running sci-fi shooter series, recently arrived on PlayStation in Japan. No English release has been announced yet, though, leaving EDF fans with little choice but to import the Japanese game. Thankfully, we have some experience with Japanese games around here. In this in...
Back in May, D3 Publisher announced an August Japanese release for Earth Defense Force 6. Time flies, as do hornets, drone ships, dragons, and other deadly things. EDF6 has now launched on PlayStation 4 and 5 in Japan. The new game builds on everything players loved about Earth Defense Force 5 while improving graphics, adding better environmental detail and destruction, new uniforms for all four playable classes, creepy new enemies, and lots more. No western release has been announced for EDF6 just yet, but we’re here with quick impressions and tips for importing!
It's ironic that a site that enjoys the Earth Defense Force series as much as we do hasn't covered the upcoming Earth Defense Force 6 until now. We've been busy, okay? D3 Publisher recently announced a Japanese release date for EDF 6, however, so it's time to start preparing. Earth Defense Force 6 will arrive on PlayStation 4 a...

When we reviewed Earth Defense Force: World Brothers, the recent EDF spin-off from Yuke's and D3 Publisher, we mostly had a great online co-op experience.

Workarounds will no longer be necessary when playing with folks from other places, thankfully, because the region locking has now been fixed!

Earth Defense Force: World Brothers, the new spin-off game from Yuke’s and D3 Publisher, is a more family-friendly entry that trades in low-budget but realistic visuals for colorful and bloc...
It has been a long time since an EDF game launched on multiple consoles simultaneously, but that changes today. Earth Defense Force: World Brothers has just arrived on Switch, PlayStation, and Steam, bringing a fresh art style, dozens of humorous unlockable characters, and four-player online co-op with it. Are you ready to save the Voxel Earth from devastation, soldier?
There's been almost 10 Earth Defense Force games released since Earth Defense Force 2017 came out on the Xbox 360, but one thing has remained constant in the series - the sense of scale. That was the answer given by series creator and producer on Earth Defense Force: World Brothers, Nobuyuki Okajima. With the new game in the series departing from the more realistic look we saw in Earth Defense Force 5 it's good to know the soul is still in tact.
