D3 Publisher has shared a bit more info on the release window for Earth Defense Force 6.

The June 2020-announced alien killing shooter will launch by the end of next year at the earliest – news confirmed by D3 Publisher producer Nobuyuki Okajima in the latest Weekly Famitsu.

“The release date of Earth Defense Force 6 is the end of 2021 at the earliest,” Okajima said. “So please take your time and enjoy Earth Defense Force: World Brothers for one year (laughs)!”

Earth Defense Force 6 had previously only been set for a general 2021 release window, and has yet to be confirmed for specific platforms.
