Earth Defense Force 6 Will Release for Both the PS5 and PS4, Delayed to 2022 in Japan

D3 Publisher and Sandlot revealed in the latest issue of Weekly Famitsu that Earth Defense Force 6 will release for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4. Additionally, the game’s release window of 2021 has been pushed to 2022 in Japan. A Western release has yet to be announced.

Earth Defense Force 6 was first announced in June 2020 via the Japanese PlayStation Blog, but specific platforms weren’t announced until now. The story revolves around a lone soldier who continues to fight beyond the events of Earth Defense Force 5. It is assumed that he’s the soldier once known as Storm 1.

An official overview is as follows (translation courtesy of Gematsu):

Three Years After Victory on a Dying Earth

2024. Humanity won the war against the unknown invaders that lasted two years. The Primers were driven away and silence returned to the Earth. However, the total human population was reduced to 10 percent. Civilization was on the verge of collapse. And those who survived continued to work hard towards recovery…

Three years later, in 2027. Humanity faced another major problem. Many of the aliens (Colonists) that the Primers had deployed into battle were left behind on Earth.

The Colonists formed groups and occupied cities to survive. They have settled on Earth. Humanity and the aliens frequently collided. And through repeated quarrels, both sides faced damages. The two races living on Earth grew tired of each other…

And the remaining threat.

But there was a more serious problem: the invaders continued to breed on Earth.

The invaders that formed nests in the depths of the Earth and its ruins continue to increase. Their numbers have already overwhelmed humanity. Humanity had no choice but to continue fighting so that the invaders would not rule the Earth.

The reconstruction of society and revival of civilization is a very slow process, and each day before that is a struggle to make that day a reality. Humanity continues to fight against the threats that remain…

We’ll update our readers when a Western release is announced.
