Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain is coming out exclusively on PS4 and just recently D3 Publisher has released some new awesome 4K screenshots for the game. These new screenshots focus on the Prowl Rider which will play an important role in the upcoming game.
The newest screenshots also show how Prowl Rider will enable players to take control of giant insects and turn the tide of the battle against the invaders. Prowl Rider is based on the PA Gear prototype which was captured from Kindred Rebellion and some major modifications done to it later.
It controls giant enemies with its E-Needle. The screenshots show a controlled Storm Ant which is actually huge in size and the player looks very small on its top controlling it. Controlling such a huge insect in its own favor will certainly change how humanity can tackle the battle and adapt to various scenarios throughout the game.
For those who do not know about Earth Defense Force: Iron Rain, it is a PlayStation exclusive which was previously a multi-platform title. The latest title in the franchise is under a new development team which has taken a new direction for it and it seems very promising so far.
In EDF: Iron Rain, players will strive to eliminate invading insect forces and save humanity from extinction using never before seen gear and technology. The game is set on Earth which is under invasion and most of it has been destroyed by the war already.
At this point, only a Japanese release is confirmed for April 11, 2019. We are still waiting for D3 to announce a date for a western release because the game looks amazing.
You can check out the game trailer below.
