Earth Defense Force 6 is finally getting a release in the west. On July 25, Earth Defense Force 6 will be released for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC via Steam starting at $59.99. Pre-orders for the PlayStation version are live now, while pre-orders for the Steam release will open up in June.
Earth Defense Force 6 was first released in Japan back in August of 2022, so it's taken a little while to come to make its way across the ocean.
There are some pre-order rewards for those in North America and EU. These include a set of auxiliary eequipment for Wing Divers called the "Reverse Core Type-N" and three decoys based on VTubers (Takananish Kiara, Gawr Gura, and IRyS). Those that buy the game will "also be eligible to receive the Hololive bonus items up to five months after launch." Those on PlayStation will get a metal-coated version of the "Nix" combat frame for the Standard Edition of the game and a specially painted combat vehicle if they get the Deluxe Edition.
In the year 2025, humanity won the war against the unknown invaders known as “Primers”, and peace returned to the planet. As a result of the conflict, 90 percent of Earth’s population was destroyed and civilization was on the brink of collapse. EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6 picks up three years after the events of EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 5, in the year 2027. The survivors continue their efforts to rebuild but threats to the world’s safety remain persistent. The Primers left behind many alien colonists and the two species have become increasingly hostile toward one another. The number of invasive organisms nesting in the depths of the earth and its ruins continues to increase. The Earth Defense Force (EDF) is once again called upon to protect the planet from aggressive extraterrestrial invaders and determine the true purpose of the giant ring-shaped object that has recently appeared in the sky. Will the EDF be able to pull humanity from the edge of defeat, or will this be the species’ last stand?
