Earth Defense Force back for sequel

This time it's insect armageddon.

The bugs are back in a sequel to the ever so fun Earth Defence Force 2017.

Developed by Vicious Cycle, Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon sees players fighting off the most concentrated giant insect invasion to ever threaten humanity.

Taking place in the fictional city of New Detroit, the co-op arcade shooter gives players the ability to destroy thousands of giant bugs and turn an entire city to rubble.

The Campaign mode lets up to three players team up online to battle the insects and aliens across a completely destroyable city. Each EDF soldier is armed with over 150 weapons and four upgradeable armour sets.

In addition, the game also features a six-player Survival mode that pits a human squad against a non-stop onslaught of the largest bugs.

Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon is scheduled for a spring 2011 release on PS3 and Xbox 360.
