Earth Defense Force 6 is slated to be out at the end of 2021 in Japan, producer Nobuyuki Okajima tells Famitsu in a recent interview. The sixth main entry in the giant bug series picks up where 2017's Earth Defense Force 5 left off. 

A new Earth Defense Force game has been announced. Titled Earth Defense Force Iron Rain, it is slated for a 2018 release in Japan. 

Earth Defense Force 5 has been delayed. D3 Publisher changed the Japanese release date from “summer 2017" to simply “2017.” The reason given is to improve the game’s quality. No word yet on an international release. 

Earth Defense Force, the sci-fi action series known primarily for having big bugs and a terrible frame rate, is coming to the PC via Steam on July 18. The PC version is Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair and features an English dub for the first time. (And presumably a decent frame rate, too.)
