Earth Defense Force 4.1 has kaiju-versus-robot battles

Screenshots of PlayStation 4 game's deep sea monster.

Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair will have giant monster-versus-giant robot battles, Famitsu’s latest online preview reveals.

The monster pictured, Erginus, is an unknown beast from the deep sea. The popular theory has it that the “foreigners” who attacked Earth brought these creatures from outer space. However, since it has features of Earth-like creatures, its true colors are unknown.

With the sudden appearance of Erginus, the Earth Defense Force has deployed the walking fortress Baram. This 50-meter-tall humanoid-type robot can fight in all terrains.

Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair is a full HD version of Earth Defense Force 2025, including a new episode, and will launch next year in Japan.
