All Articles: Earth Defense Force 2025

Spring is in the air. I know this because I awoke to find an absolutely massive spider on my kitchen table this morning. Of course, it was just a little thing compared to the arachnids in Earth Defense Force 2025. D3 Publisher’s Japanese office has released another gameplay trailer for the game and if you need a little mindless bug stomping this Sunday evening, it’s certainly worth a look.

Earth Defense Force 2025 will be available for the PS3 and Xbox 360 sometime this year.

Have you been sitting in front of your computer, madly refreshing D3 Publisher’s YouTube Channel in hopes of finding a new Earth Defense Force 2025 trailer? Just me? OK, then…

But if you’re like me, you’ll be happy to know that a new trailer featuring two minutes of gameplay footage from Earth Defense Force 2025 has just been uploaded. It ain’t much, but if you’ve been caught in the EDF’s web, it’s certainly something.

D3 Publisher Japan has released another trailer for Earth Defense Force 2025, again focusing on the new Air Raider class and his accompaniment of deployable pods (which include air strikes, shield walls, turrets, and health beacons).

The trailer also give a good bit of screentime to the EDF’s vehicles. With Sandlot taking back the development reins, they’ve pushed the helicopter back into service. A trio of tanks, a massive new walking mech, and a motorcycle with a sidecar (which likely replaces the hoverbike) can also be seen.

We’re on track to receive not one, but two Earth Defense Force games in 2013. There’s the Vita re-release Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable and the brand new PS3/Xbox 360 game Earth Defense Force 2025. EDF! EDF! EDF!

In addition to dating EDF 2017 Portable yesterday, D3 Publisher Japan has unveiled a new gameplay video that showcases the new soldier types found in EDF 2025. If you played last year’s Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon, you’ll be familiar with the Pale Wing and Air Raider classes, but they’ve been slightly modified for EDF 2025. Actually, the Pale Wing corps operates exactly like the Jet Armor did in Insect Armageddon. Limited flight capabilities from a jetpack and an energy-based weapon mean that the bugs have no where to hide.

The real fun is found with the Air Raider class. The Air Raider is a support soldier that drops a variety of turrets including a healing station, a machine gun turret, and land mines. The Air Raider, true to his name, can also call in an airborne strike that kills bugs dead.

Guaranteed.

D3 Publisher has announced that the fourth Earth Defense Force game will be making its way to America in 2013. Announced as Earth Defense Force 4 a few months ago, the game will be released in America for the PS3 and Xbox 360 as Earth Defense Force 2025.

In addition to more missions and bigger bugs, EDF 2025 promises to include a four-player multiplayer mode and the return of original developer Sandlot.

Earth Defense Force 2025 is an action shooting bonanza that arms players with their choice of EDF soldier classes equipped with more weapons ever in the series and the elite training to exterminate menacing insects of all sizes in the global quest to protect the world from alien invasion.

Sign me up.

How many hours have I poured into Earth Defense Force 2017 and Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon. Probably more than most people would consider healthy. So it is with great sadness that I tell you that Earth Defense Force 4 still doesn’t have a North American release date. However, what it does have is a debut trailer and some fresh gameplay details courtesy of Famitsu (via Destructoid).

The fourth official game in the series takes place in 2025, eight years after the events of EDF 2017. The Ravagers left a little surprise for humanity after a lone soldier kicked their alien asses. A colony of giant bugs has been growing beneath the Earth’s surface and now they’re ready to strike!

But humanity has a few new tricks of their own. The EDF has been outfitted with weaponry scavenged from the Ravagers previous attack including the jetpack squadron known as “Wing Divers” with their “Foreigner” guns. And taking a page from Insect Armageddon, developer Sandlot also plans to expand on the online multiplayer offerings in EDF4.

Earth Defense Force 4 is in development for the PS3 and Xbox 360 and will be available in Japan next year. Let’s hope D3 announces a US release date soon or I might just be forced to unleash a real swarm of giant ants and spiders on the world to get my EDF fix.
