"Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair" launches next month in Europe
Publisher PQube has announced "Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair's" release date in Europe. The game, which was released in North America and Japan last year, will be available to gamers in the region on Feb. 12 for £44.99.
Another "EDF" title, "Earth Defense Force 2: Invaders from Planet Space," will also be arriving on the same date for the PS Vita. The game will sell for £29.99.
Gamers who will pre-order both games from Rice Digital will receive a limited edition t-shirt that features the Earth Defense Force emblem.
Both games are re-imaginings of previously released titles in the series. "Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair" is a remaster of "Earth Defense Force 2025," while "Earth Defense Force 2: Invaders from Planet Space" is a remaster of "Earth Defense Force 2."

The Time of Mutants Mission Pack 1 contains 26 missions described as "the most intense … the EDF has ever faced." While some missions are brand-new, some come from "Earth Defense Force 2025."
