To continue on the EDF train, D3 Publisher has teamed up with Yuke’s (WWE 2K series) for EDF game called Earth Defense Force Iron Rain. The differences between this and EDF 5 are very noticeable.For one, EDF 5 and previous games before it thrive on the campy sci-fi and kaiju movies that it takes inspirations from. Iron Rain seems to be a bit more serious in tone, and feel more like a summer blockbuster movie from this generation. Not to mention the trailer was all in English (though there is a Japanese trailer too but this one is main one being shown off). Here’s said English trailer:
IF the West doesn’t get EDF 5, I think this would be a more suitable release. Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain is set for a release sometime in 2018.
