Earth Defence Force: Iron Rain Delayed Into 2019
Earth Defence Force: Iron Rain has been delayed until 2019.
D3 Publisher announced in this week's issue of Famitsu (via Siliconera) that the latest addition to the Earth Defence Force series will not launch until next year, rather than its original release window of 2018. However, a reason was not given for the delay.
Earth Defence Force is a third-person shooter which focuses on a unified multinational military that's been created to defend against hostile aliens. Each title in the series is a light-hearted splat-fest which sees you taking on the role of an EDF soldier during an alien invasion.
Earth Defence Force: Iron Rain was announced last year during Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show briefing. During the reveal, Publisher D3 called Iron Rain "new territory" for the franchise as, unlike its predecessors, Iron Rain will be much more serious in nature.
Earth Defence Force: Iron Rain will release for PlayStation 4 in 2019.
