    Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair, the latest tongue-in-cheek action game featuring giant mecha fighting giant monsters, has gotten a release window.

    D3 Publisher confirmed the news via an online preview on Famitsu, which had the game set for a February 2015 release window. New screenshots have also been released. You can drool over them while you wait for more gameplay footage:

    Earth Defense Force 4.1 10-22-14-4 Earth Defense Force 4.1 10-22-14-3

    The screenshots were made to show off the new “Walking Fortress Baram A-Type,” the big bad 50-meter tall mecha you see above dishing out the pain on the alien invaders.

    As the lore goes, after the monstrous Erginus surfaces from the ocean, humanity turned to the Walking Fortress to help fight the monstrosity—because why not fight monsters by creating our own monsters?

    We’ll keep you updated.
