D3 Publisher has sent along word that if the world doesn’t end in a few hours, we’ll get to play Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable on our Vitas in 2013. To be more specific, we’ll be able to download apocalyptic alien shooter from the PlayStation Store for $39.99 on January 8.
Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable adds seven new levels to the game (bringing the total to 60) and reintroduces the jetpack-powered Pale Wing corps from the Japan-only Earth Defense Force 2. An online multiplayer mode has been added to EDF 2017 Portable as well.
