Key Features:
The Voxel World of Square Earth: Unlike the original EDF series, which is portrayed in a photorealistic style, EDF: WB2 uses bold voxel graphics for a distinct look. Get ready to blast hordes of monsters into pixel oblivion!
Build Your Very Own EDF Squad: EDF members are struggling in isolated locations around the world. Rescue and assemble a unique Earth Defense Force team to save the cube Earth across more than 100 missions and five difficulty levels. Each mission is tackled by a 4-member team that players mix and match to maximize their abilities and lay waste to their enemies.
Legends Assemble: Legendary soldiers, characters, and weapons from the first game, THE EARTH DEFENSE FORCE, up to EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6, and various EDF series spin-offs return in voxelated form! Longtime fans of the series are in for a serious dose of nostalgia, while those who have never played an EDF game before can enjoy EDF: WB2 as an introduction to the series. Design the perfect team for any play style with over 100 characters and 600 equipable weapons and accessories to collect and deploy into battle.
Enemies of Generations Past Reborn: The invaders who attacked Earth and caused mass destruction countless times before are returning in full (voxelated) force. The enemies, giant weapons, and huge monsters from past EDF games are all back and bigger than ever! What hell-spawn will show up next?
Fully Voiced in Multiple Languages: Like its predecessor, EDF: WB2 features English, Japanese, Chinese, and Korean voiceovers, so an even greater audience can get in on the action!
Online Co-op and Offline Split-Screen: Join forces with friends and family with the supported online co-op for up to 4-players. PS4® and PS5® players can also enjoy split-screen play as an exclusive feature on the platform.
