A new trailer appeared for the upcoming Western release of Earth Defense Force 6, confirming a July release date and showcasing new DLC featuring Hololive Vtubers. Takanashi Kiara, Gawr Gura, and IRyS will be available as in-game equipment as part of the Early Purchase incentive. The game, which is already available in Japan and other Asian territories, will now launch on July 25, 2024, after the Spring launch window was delayed.
The Hololive Vtuber DLC will be available to those who purchase the game before December 24, 2024, while those who pre-order will also get 24-hour early access and a Wing Diver jetpack. The Japanese release previously had its own Hololive collaboration, featuring Japanese branch streamers Shirakami Fubuki, Nakiri Ayame, and long time series fan Ookami Mio.
