Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon

Earth Defense Force 2017

 Written by John Scalzo  on September 17, 2010

News: Giant bugs beware, the EDF is here to defend Earth!



The most underrated game on the Xbox 360, Earth Defence Force 2017, will finally be getting a sequel next Spring. First revealed at a GameStop manager's conference, Earth Defence Force: Insect Armageddon is in development at Vicious Cycle for both the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.

Building on the game design concepts found in EDF2017, Insect Armageddon will allow three players to tackle the Campaign via online play and up to six players can battle it out with a neverending horde of alien bugs in Survival.

In addition to an American developer, D3 Publisher is also shifting the action to the United States, specifically the city of New Detroit. As with EDF2017, expect to fight a lot of giant bugs in a completely destructible city:

Taking place in the fictional city of New Detroit, Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon is a completely new game developed by Vicious Cycle that takes on the concept of Earth Defense Force 2017. Insect Armageddon continues to follow the rich history of casual fun and addictive gameplay that made the franchise a cult classic. Insect Armageddon also adds a new aspect to the Earth Defense Force series that was born in Japan, with additional elements for all EDF soldiers to experience.

The Campaign mode that lets up to three players team up online to battle the insects and aliens across a completely destroyable city. Every EDF soldier is armed with over 150 weapons and four upgradeable armor sets and engages in nonstop arcade action that is the fastest and deadliest in the series. In addition, the game also features a six-player Survival mode that pits a human squad against a nonstop onslaught of the largest enemies the aliens have to offer. New Detroit's giant bug problem is unavoidable, and mankind's last hope lies with the Earth Defense Force to defend the world from the insect swarm, even if it means blowing up the entire city as part of the extermination process.


As I said before, Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon will be released in the Spring of 2011. We'll definitely have more soon.
