Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain has been announced for PlayStation 4.
The game was revealed during Sony's pre-Tokyo Game Show briefing - it's being developed by Yuke's and published by D3.
A reveal trailer has also dropped, showcasing some of the series' staple bug-fighting action - but it also looks to add a more grounded tone than other light-hearted entries in the series.
Publisher D3 is calling Iron Rain "new territory" for the franchise as it looks to move away from its "traditional" style. This can be seen in the trailer, as our narrator delivers despondent lines including "war is all we know", a far cry from the playful premise of a giant bug invasion.
The other major difference? It looks a lot nicer than the mainline EDF games - even the upcoming Earth Defense Force 5, which was shown off in the same conference
Other than that, things look extremely EDF. Enemies include giant bugs, alien invaders and their giant robots, as well as a number of returning features from past games including mechanised suits and armoured vehicles.
You won't have to wait too long to save humanity from the bug scourge either, as Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain is due for release (in Japan at least) in 2018.
