'Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair' (PS4) Gets Dated - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Nov. 19, 2015 @ 9:27 p.m. PST

The wild sci-fi action game Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair is a complete re-imagining of EDF 2025 (known in Japan as EDF 4) complete with silky-smooth frame rates, beefed-up graphics, and tons of new and rearranged content.

In Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair, players will take on extraterrestrial invaders as the versatile Ranger, the aerial Wing Diver, the vehicle-summoning Air Raider, or the armored Fencer. Call in airstrikes, commandeer tanks, operate giant robots and more to obliterate alien scum. Two players can enjoy local campaign co-op and head-to-head versus modes, while online co-op features 98 total missions (9 exclusive to online play) with support for up to four players to increase the odds against this gargantuan incursion.

After selecting from one of four unique playable classes and customizing a loadout from hundreds of weapons, players will lead NPC troops into city-wide battles against hordes of seemingly endless giant bugs, robots, and other colossal enemies.


Key Features:

  • Four Classes, Each with Upgrades: Play as the versatile Ranger, the flying Wing Diver, the vehicle-summoning Air Raider, or the armored Fencer, each with unique gear and abilities.
  • An Arsenal at Your Fingertips: Choose from hundreds of weapons and vehicles as you fire man-portable cannons, call in airstrikes, drive tanks, pilot jetpacks, or get behind the controls of your very own giant robot.
  • You Are Not Alone: Bring up to three friends into any of a whopping 98 online missions. Share vehicles, watch each other’s backs, and use teamwork to beat the odds.
  • Earth Defense Force 4, Better than Ever: 4.1 runs at a steady 60 FPS and supports up to 1080p, while newly revised missions feature more NPC soldiers, who now respond to the player’s commands.
