The upcoming PlayStation Vita port of Earth Defense Forces 3 clearly isn’t enough to sate Japan’s hunger for oversized bugs – series overlord D3Publisher has announced that follow-up Earth Defense Forces 4 is also currently in development for PS3.

The sequel promises to stick closely to the blueprint of previous entries, with a goofy B-movie feel and more bugs to squish than an ant farm. The title will include a new female class known as Wing Divers. These troops are based on the Pale Wing characters from the second game, and are augmented with the ability to fly.

There’s an announcement trailer embedded below. The game’s due out next year. It sure looks like an Earth Defense Forces sequel, doesn’t it?
