"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 installment of our long-running Co-op International column, we provide a full English translation with screenshots of all of EDF6's menus. There goes the barrier to importing!" says Co-Optimus.
Originally set for release in Spring 2024, D3 has announced that Earth Defense Force 6 is now set for release in "Summer 2024" in the West
Earth Defense Force 6 will launch for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 on March 14 in Asia with English, Korean, and Chinese audio, and English, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese text support, publisher Clouded Leopard Entertainment announced.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Despite some monotony during the demo, I'm eager to play the full game on PS5 next year. I don't expect it to enter the game-of-the-year conversation, but I do expect the same reliable, accessible third-person action that has defined the series for generations. In the end, EDF 6 is more of the same, despite a stronger focus on story, improved (but still outdated) graphics, and more content and weapons. Ultimately, I think that's a good thing, since EDF fills a niche mostly unoccupied in the current gaming landscape."
