Earth Defense Force 6 Delayed Until Summer

Feb 13, 2024 9:16 AM

Earth Defense Force 6, the anticipated sequel in the popular shooter franchise, is experiencing a delay in its Western release. Initially scheduled for a spring release, the game is now set to launch in summer. Developer Sandlot and publisher D3 Publisher attribute the delay to a need for additional time to ensure the Western version is of the highest quality. The series, known for its third-person over-the-top action where players fend off massive alien invasions, will release the latest installment for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC this coming summer. Fans are encouraged to follow for further updates and thanked for their continued support.

Why has Earth Defense Force 6 been delayed?

The delay results from the developer's and publisher's decision to take extra time to refine the game for its Western release, ensuring the final product meets their quality standards.

Earth Defense Force is a third-person shooter series that has been around since 2003. It's known for its campy narrative, massive waves of alien creatures, and an array of weapons and soldiers to choose from. Its core appeal lies in the simplicity of its gameplay loop and the sheer scale of destruction players can unleash. Despite not being a mainstream hit, the series has a dedicated fanbase that appreciates its unique charm and arcade-style shooting mechanics. Earth Defense Force 6 aims to continue this legacy with improved visuals and gameplay while maintaining the series’ signature style of chaotic combat.

It's a bummer to hear about the delay for Earth Defense Force 6 in the West, but it's good to see the developers prioritizing quality. The series has always delivered chaotic, alien-blasting fun, so I'd rather wait a bit longer for an even better experience.
