Many of you have been waiting a very long time for the release of Earth Defense Force 2025, and I’m proud to say that the game is available for PS3 starting today! Acclaimed Japanese developer Sandlot is back at it again, creating the best EDF experience yet.

Over the past few months, we shared with you our vision of a Neo-Victorian London in <a href="http://us.playstation.com/ps4/games/the-order-1886.html?CMP=soc_us__gm_Order1886_NewTrailer_2_18_14" target="_blank">The Order: 1886</a>, an alternate version of human history filled with mystery and advances in technology that take center stage in an age-old war. This conflict that started centuries ago pitted mankind against half-breeds in a battle for survival. This became the catalyst for the noblest warriors of their time to come together in an alliance, an Order that waged war and held the line for hundreds of years. Through the centuries, their vigil has kept humanity safe and the war in a status quo while The Order’s members remained hidden behind history and legend. More...

To celebrate the launch, we're offering a 20% discount for all PlayStation Plus members during the first week, so don't miss out!

Both developers were involved with the Gunslugs adaptation. More...

All items are available for a limited time, but once acquired you will be able to keep them in your inventory for good. More...
