Looking for news about Earth Defense 6? Well, here it is! D3Publisher Inc. announced the highly-anticipated Western release of the latest entry in the popular series, Earth Defense Force 6 for PlayStation 5, PC via Steam in Spring 2024 and on Epic Games Store shortly after that. The next monstrous installment will deliver an adrenaline-pumping experience for veteran players and new fans looking to save the world.

In 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.
