Today D3Publisher showcased a large batch of gameplay of its upcoming action game Earth Defense Force 5.

The gameplay starts at the 17:30 minute mark in the video below, showcasing first single player, while at the 56:45 minute mark we get to see split-screen co-op gameplay.

Earth Defense Force 5 was previously scheduled to release in the summer, but it has recently been delayed to a generic "2017" in order to improve quality.

Earth Defense Force 5 has been announced as a PS4 exclusive, at least for now. If you want to see more about the game, you can check out the latest trailer (that incidentally came with English subtitles), another large batch of semi-recent gameplay, and a batch of screenshots showing air raiders and vehicles.

While it's definitely interesting that some of the game's promotional material includes English subtitles, no English localization has ever been announced or otherwise hinted by D3Publisher, but there certainly is hope.

You can check out the video below, and experience one of D3Publisher's few games that are actually rather chaste. Personally, I'm looking forward to it, as it looks like a ton of hectic fun, like the previous Earth Defense Force games. Hopefully, we'll get a western release.
