Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair - PlayStation 4

In 2013, we first spotted them coming from far out in space. Many of us hoped they were elder beings, bringing us wisdom or to take us to a better place. However, we knew that wasn't the case. Luckily, we had the foresight to create a contingency plan — the Earth Defense Force. It took four long years for the world's militaries to assemble and equip the team, and it didn't leave a lot of time to train — but we were ready. In 2017, they arrived — from the air and underground. Giant mutant insects, massive starships and battle machines opened fire, laying waste the innocent people. Only the EDF stood a chance, and the Ravagers were eliminated after a hard-fought and bloody war. Now, eight short years later, the Ravagers have returned with new creatures and enhanced machines. 2017 had only been the first wave. The Earth Defense Force is ready and has been training diligently during peacetime. Now, fully equipped, trained and with giants of our own, humanity is ready for round two against the otherworldly villains.The Earth Defense Force is coming to PlayStation 4 for the first time in Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair.
