Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 (四角い地球に再びシカク現る!? デジボク地球防衛軍2 Shikakui Chikyū ni Futatabi Shikaku Genru!? Dejiboku Chikyū Bōeigun 2) is a spinoff game in the Earth Defense Force series, released on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 in May 23, 2024 in Japan and released on September 26, 2024 in the West with an additional Microsoft Windows release. It is developed by Yuke's, who previously developed Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain.
Like its predecessor, World Brothers 2 is a unique take on the EDF formula, featuring pixelated block-shaped voxel graphics akin to games like Minecraft. It once again uses Unreal Engine 4 rather than Sandlot's custom engine, but reproduces the feel of the Sandlot engine much more closely than Iron Rain.
Plot[]
It is a direct continuation from the original World Brothers. With the death of the Dark Tyrant, Earth pulled itself back together. Unfortunately, an entirely new foe rose from the depths of the world itself. Known as Gaiark, it gained control over the aliens and tore the world apart once more.
