Now that Earth Defense Force 6 is finally available in English worldwide, PlayStation and Steam players are working their way through the game's 146 missions and five difficulty levels. It took yours truly a solid two weeks and 70 hours or so to complete the game on Hard difficulty, but I've still got the Hardest and Inferno difficulties to tackle. To help players plan their attack, we're providing the full list of missions and a few tips for unlocking missions and difficulty levels.

Following a Fall 2022 PlayStation release in Japan and a Spring 2024 release in Asia, Earth Defense Force 6 has finally been released worldwide on PlayStation and Steam by D3 Publisher. The EDF series has long offered co-op shooting thrills via 2-player split-screen and 4-player online co-op. EDF 6 maintains those expectations while upping the ante...

After several years and much anticipation, Earth Defense Force 6 is finally available worldwide on PlayStation and Steam. The series is famous for its cooperative third-person shooting, unique B-movie atmosphere, and vast assortment of missions. We jumped at the chance to interview Nobuyuki Okajima, who is a Producer at D3 PUBLISHER Inc. about this...

Last month, a small Australian developer called Timesea Studio announced that it would be making a Secret of Mana-style action RPG called Infinity Knights: Xross. Fundraising via Kickstarter was always the developers' plan, and now the Kickstarter campaign has begun. By donating to the campaign, gamers can preorder a console or PC copy of the game and some cool digital bonuses for cheap.

All the cool RPGs are going 3-player co-op these days. First, Sea of Stars announced its co-op mode earlier this year. Now, Australian developer Timesea Studio has followed suit by announcing their new game, Infinity Knights: Xross. The upcoming game promises beautiful pixel art, an epic soundtrack, a title that people can't fully pronounce, and 3-player local co-op. Take that, Sea of Stars!

In the long-ago days of the early 1990s, a sci-fi RPG called Star Control II came out on PC and 3DO, and it knocked the socks right off of anyone who played it. Now, the creators of the series are working on a modern sequel called Free Stars: Children of Infinity. This will be the first installment in the series to feature 2-player online co-op, an early stretch goal for the fundraising campaign. The Kickstarter will end on Friday, May 17 at 11 PM PT, and before that happens, it needs more support in order to fund the addition of voice acting. Let's make it happen, co-op lovers!

The wait for Earth Defense Force 6 has been a long one. In fact, some folks say that you could stretch the delay between the Japanese and Western releases of EDF 6 around the earth at least twice. I mean, the game arrived in Japan in August 2022, and we still don't have an English version. That injustice will finally be rectified when EDF6 arrives on PlayStation and Steam in North America and Europe on July 25 of this year. Are you ready to save the earth from the aliens' attack, recruits?

When there are islands in the sky, somebody's got to explore them and go on adventures - nothing else will do. That's where Ikonei Island: An Earthlock Adventure from Snowcastle Games and Jetpack Collective comes in. Following the release of the Steam version last fall, Ikonei Island is finally about to arrive on consoles. With 4-player online co-op and a helping of fresh content, this will be a great time to set foot on the island.

Back in 2021, D3 Publisher and Yuke's unleashed a family-friendly spin-off of the EDF series called Earth Defense Force: World Brothers. We quite liked that game's colorful, voxel art style and humor. Fast-forwarding to 2024, it looks like we're in for another good time because Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 has been officially announced for a September release on PlayStation and Switch!
