Every character in Earth Defense Force: World Brothers has their own ability (mapped to the L2 button on PS4). Okajima showed still images that included a Cowboy Brother with a six-shooter, a Pharaoh Sister carrying an ankh, and a masked El Dorado Brother from South America. Given the theme of this new game, there will also be a variety of new "brothers and sisters" based on cultures from around the globe (sorry, cube) who can become allies. Rescuing fallen allies adds to your squad: Players can have up to four soldiers in their party and switch between them instantly with the D-pad.Įarth Defense Force: World Brothers will include "over 100" different characters, including a variety of fighters from past EDF games such as Jet Lifters, Air Raiders and Fencers. His default soldier was a Ranger but after shooting some ants in Manhattan he found a Wing Diver unconscious on the ground. Okajima played through the game's tutorial level live on the stream (which you can watch below), where a gruff military commander on-screen explained the above backstory and charged the player with becoming an EDF commander and building their own squad to fight the invaders and rescue what's left of the Earth. That was not the end of the battle though the voxel Earth still exists as pieces floating in space, each segment a tiny environment unto itself. Even the Earth itself is now a cube, or at least it was until the Dark Legion arrived from space and blew it to bits. In a departure from past EDF games, which had semi-realistic giant insects attacking the planet, Earth Defense Force: World Brothers is entirely made of voxels. World Brothers will be released in Japan on December 24 for the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch, while an "early 2021" release is planned for other territories.
