While XSEED Games is bringing both Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair for the PlayStation 4 and Earth Defense Force 2: Invaders from Planet Space for the PS Vita to North America sometime this fall season, European gamers have been sitting in the dark.
That changed earlier today when PQube announced that they will be handling both titles in Europe where each one will be released both at retail and digitally in Q4 2015. Earth Defense Force 4.1 is a complete re-imagining of the original Earth Defense Force 2025 and marks the first time that the series has appeared on modern consoles while Earth Defense Force 2 is a Vita remake of Global Defense Force 2 which was originally only available on the PlayStation 2.
