I don't want to get too big for my britches or anything, but sometimes we games journalists have a lot of sway in the industry. For instance, we just published our Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 co-op review today, and on the very same day, D3 Publisher finally updates the Steam version of Earth Defense Force 6.

To help players plan their attack, we're providing the full list of missions and a few tips for unlocking missions and difficulty levels.
Following a Fall 2022 PlayStation release in Japan and a Spring 2024 release in Asia, Earth Defense Force 6 has finally been released worldwide on PlayStation and Steam by D3 Publisher. The EDF series has long offered co-op shooting thrills via 2-player split-screen and 4-player online co-op. EDF 6 maintains those expectations while upping the ante...
After several years and much anticipation, Earth Defense Force 6 is finally available worldwide on PlayStation and Steam. The series is famous for its cooperative third-person shooting, unique B-movie atmosphere, and vast assortment of missions.
