Convergence is the thirty-fourth offline mission and the thirty-seventh online mission in Earth Defense Force 2025 and the thirty-fifth offline mission and the thirty-eighth online mission in Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair.

Objective

2025: Ravager transport ships are converging at the port. According to reports, there is a force of a scope unseen before. It is sure sign that an all-out attack is imminenent. We won't sit back and wait. We'll attack before they've gathered. This will be an extremely dangerous mission. Good luck.

4.1: The Ravagers' transport ships are gathering over a residential area, and our intel says that the size of the enemy army is the largest it's yet been! They're likely planning a full-scale attack, so we need to strike them first, before it's too late. This is more dangerous than any other mission to date, so take every precaution out there!

Storyline

As the mission intel says this is the largest force until now, so naturally the EDF only sends out three Rangers and Storm Team. HQ doesn't even bother to give an attack order or anything. Anyway they go and attack the ships and drones littering the sky above the port. They destroy every enemy, not much else is happening on the mission.

4.1 Changes

The mission was moved from the ports to the town near a river. There are more enemies and Silver Spiders added on Inferno. The number allies is also increased.

Some radio chatter was added. HQ now advices the soldiers to focus on one enemy at a time, at the beginning of the mission.
