Earth Defense Force: World Brothers seeing western release in May, new trailer

D3Publisher has nailed down a final release date for the western version of Earth Defense Force: World Brothers. The game will launch digitally in North America and Europe as well as Asia on May 27.

Earth Defense Force: World Brothers originally debuted on December 24, 2020 in Japan.

Here’s an official overview of the game:

Since the worldwide reveal during the special livestream event at Tokyo Game Show 2020, Earth Defense Force: World Brothers is taking a completely different look from the rest of the EDF series with its new 3D voxel art style. Fans of EDF can expect an EDF game packed with a ton of content from every main game in the EDF series, including weapons, historic soldier classes and enemies, in addition to brand-new ones for players to mix and match their teams of four.

For new players unfamiliar with the EDF series, they can look forward to defeating gigantic enemies, from insects to robots and aliens, all composed of 3D pixels and access to a large arsenal of weapons and soldier classes; each class can maximize their unique abilities to lay waste on their enemies in Earth Defense Force: World Brothers. The popular third-person shooter series’ exciting debut in a brand-new market aims to create a fun, new appearance, and gameplay experience for both EDF fans and new recruits alike.

Though players can save the world in the Earth Defense Force: World Brothers campaign solo with AI teammates, they can also enlist with friends in 4-player online Co-op Play on each platform; however, the game does not support cross-platform play. Players can also look forward to playing offline with four-player LAN Co-op on the Nintendo Switch system, which requires players and their friends to each have their own Nintendo Switch and copy of Earth Defense Force: World Brothers.

We’ve included a new trailer for Earth Defense Force: World Brothers below.
