D3 Publisher will release Earth Defense Force 5 in Japan later this year, but a special New Year’s message has given fans a look back at the franchise’s beginnings, along with a short glimpse of the upcoming sequel.
Posted to Twitter on December 31, the video includes a look at Earth Defense Force 5’s frog-like Colonists and a new model of walking UFO:
新年あけましておめでとうございます。
皆様にとって素晴らしい一年になりますように！本部からのお年玉です。
地球防衛軍1～5のヒストリームービーをどうぞ！#EDF pic.twitter.com/goBASIuhjJ— 地球防衛軍(EDF)公式 (@EDF_OFFICIAL) December 31, 2016
Earth Defense Force 5 is currently in development exclusively for the PS4, and an American launch date remains unannounced.
