Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon has been announced for PS3 and Xbox 360 by D3 Publisher for release in 2011. The game is a sequel to Earth Defense Force 2017 released in 2007.

This sequel is being made by a new developer, that of Vicious Cycle instead of Sandlot. Vicious Cycle previously developed Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard.

The bugs are back in Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon, and its no picnic for the world’s elite soldiers as the most concentrated giant insect invasion ever threatens human civilization unless the Earth Defense Force (EDF) can stop them!

Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon is a co-op multiplayer Arcade Shooter that gives the player the ability to destroy thousands of giant bugs and turn an entire city to rubble as part of the extermination process in an “unforgettable gaming experience built for replay.”

Here is the debut trailer for the game.

Key features include:

  • Focus on co-op multiplayer gaming.
  • Team up with friends to play the entire campaign online with up to four player.
  • All-new vehicles.
  • All-new armor sets.
  • Over 150 different weapons to blast enemy bugs with.
  • New Swarm Mode pits teams of six humans against a swarm of AI insects. Think Gear’s of War 3’s Horde mode.
