The next instalment in D3Publisher's long-running Earth Defense Force series has been available in Japan for well over a year, but Western fans of the bug-blasting shooter can finally look forward to checking it out too. The company has at last revealed when we can expect it to head our way — Earth Defense Force 6 is launching on PS5 and PS4 in the west in Spring 2024.
As with all games in this series, EDF6 is a chaotic co-op shooter all about fending off waves of giant bugs as they invade the planet. Always lovably janky and full of cheesy charm, these games are technically below par, but offer some top notch entertainment regardless. We'll soon be able to play the latest entry early next year.
EDF6 features a new storyline, the return of old classes including Ranger, Air Raider, Wing Diver, and Fencer, and new missions and weapons. While the joy of the series is found in co-op, you can also play it solo, if you want.
Will you be checking out Earth Defense Force 6 when it arrives in Spring 2024? Let us know in the comments section below.

I was getting worried that this wouldn't be localized! Now here's hoping it releases on Steam the same day...
Good news, but I’m worried the PS5 version will stabilize the framerate I can’t wait for next gen only EDF to come up with new ways to wreck the framerate.
I couldn't wait for the Western release. Been playing it for the last 9 months, and finally just finished inferno. To those that haven't played the game yet, it's definitely worth playing.
As for framerate, it's solid. I think there were just 2 missions where I noticed some slowdown on split screen co op. Much better than past games.
This voice acting is on another level. Lmao
EDF is actually a very entertaining game. Spent a lot of time on EDF 5. Don't be fooled by its graphics.
@Dramlin Is there a non-framerate quality option mode that helps it drop? I feel like framerate drops are a feature in this series.
nice! loved some of them, cant wait to try this one on ps5
Is it going to be digital only nonsense again?
Been waiting for this for a long time. EDF is the most fun you can have with friends. Don't be fooled by how it looks some missions require serious planning and cooperation. I have several EDF platinum trophies and everyone of them left me with a real sense of achievement. I did 4.1solo offline to prove a point to myself. That's still my proudest platinum out of 118. Having said that don't do it. Grab your headsets team up with friends and have a blast.
