Earth Defense Force 5 will ham up the PlayStation 4 this year. The game – which is already available in Japan – popped up on Sony’s official YouTube channel earlier this week, with a “coming soon” notice. It’s yet to be officially confirmed by D3 Publisher, but pre-orders are live on the North American PlayStation Store for Standard ($59.99) and Deluxe ($89.99) editions. The silly third-person shooter has a 31st December release date attached, but we’re pretty sure that’s just placeholder.
“Become one of the soldiers of Earth Defense Force and exterminate the invading aliens,” the product description reads. “Protect peace on Earth.” We really hope this one runs at 5 frames-per-second unlike the remastered Earth Defense Force 4.1 because part of the appeal of this series is how unoptimised it tends to be. Also, that EDF chant is gold. EDF! EDF! EDF!

Our world should create an Earth Defense Force, it’s about time.
Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh ye. Between this and Monster Hunter, this is the best year of gaming of all time.
EDF! EDF! EDF! I played EDF at a friends once, it was good fun. This would make for a fun Pushsquare clan.
EDF! EDF! EDF!
I bought 4.1 dirt cheap on Amazon a few years ago and my cousin and I played the hell out of it.
Funny how the Pro doesn't even help with the framerate. It's still just as choppy as a SlapChop.
EDF is really cool! I just wish they would polish it a bit
To save our mother earth from any alien attack 🎶
From vicious giant amphibians who think we won't fight back 🎺
For a moment there, I thought my electricity provider had created a game starring that little beige poo they show dancing in bird baths.
Giant frog with a laser gun?! … 'yes!', this speaks to me. I look forward to playing a similar game to what I've played the last 4 times. And 'no' that's not meant as sarcasm; I hope these games never change, … unless it's to add even more cool stuff.
Is this game worth buying at full retail price?
The only good bug is a dead bug! E D F ! ! !
I love these silly games.
Cant wait for this one , like how they had a unique liat of weaponds , like richoet rounds and napalm launchers and spiderweb guns that cut enemies up. And the mecha was cool too
When does EDF Iron Rain release? That looks way more polished than this and previous titles.
This looks good but too similar to 4.1. I feel like I might as well replaying that instead of buying 5. I'm waiting for Iron Rain.
@OGGamer Personally I'm not sure if Iron Fist will be as fun. Though there are graphical updates but the number of enemies seemed lacking compared to the traditional titles. It's sort of like Monster Hunter World, where it lacked content compared to the originals.
