Earth Defense Force is best known for its B-movie production values, as the melodramatic Earth Defense Force 5 trailer we posted earlier demonstrates. But another instalment is on the way courtesy of Yuke’s Media Creations: Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain.
To us, this looks like a more mature, more polished take on the franchise. Here’s what D3 Publisher has said so far: “The Earth Defense Force series moves away from its traditional series and into new territory with this new project. Developed by Yuke’s and teaming up with world-renowned artists to create an all new Earth Defense Force experience. Fight on an Earth devastated by giant creatures in this exciting third-person shooter.”
The game will be playable on the TGS 2017 showfloor this week, so we should see more then.

Looks like the sequel to Insect Armageddon.
EDF! EDF! EDF! 4.1 is still one of the best PS4 games to date.
Did yuke not make that wrestle game Rumble roses.
So is basically the Monster Hunter World for EDF, huh? Nice. Hopefully, it will come to the west soon.
Is the voice over metal gear solid snake?! Yeah I feel like the EDF! EDF! And whooping over sized mutant ants!
Namco bumps up the production values, but still publishes it under their D3 "budget" brand? Why? In general, why? They're still making EDF5 - this easily could've been a new franchise about future soldiers, something Appleseed-ish or whatever.
I mean it looks great, don't get me wrong. Like with Arika, its rad af to see some old-school companies learning Unreal 4 and getting their mojo back, in this case Yuke's getting away from making WWE games for Visual Concepts and 2K for a bit. But its still super baffling to me that this isn't a new IP. Like, what's the point of getting EDF5 if Iron Rain is on the way?
I'm confused, but excited. Knock it outta the park, Yuke's!
This looks awesome but I'm so confused why they'd publish two EDF games around the same time. Iron Rain looks more interesting to me simply because 5 looks a bit too similar to 4.1. I can't see myself buying both 5 and Iron Rain.
I'll keep 4.1, skip over 5 and buy Iron Rain.
My cousin and I usually have a hilarious blast with EDF.
