Almost immediately after our interview with D3 about Earth Defense Force 2025, the publisher has given the game, which has now gone gold, a release date of February 18th in North America. Foregoing the usual $59.99 price tag, you can expect to grab it for $49.95.

If you want to pre-order the game, Amazon has it for $43.19 and includes a weapon pack with the Volatile Napalm Discharge Device, and the Pure Decoy Launcher. Or you can get it from GameStop for $49.99 where the pre-order bonus is the BM03 Vegalta Gold and Pure Decoy Launcher [Setsu].

Along with this announcement, D3 also confirmed the DLC packs you can expect for the game in the weeks following its release:

Earth Defense Force 2025 is rated Mature, with this as the rating summary:

This is a third-person shooter in which players assume the role of military soldiers defending cities from giant insects and aliens. Players use lasers, machine guns, turrets, and rockets launchers to destroy alien robots, spacecraft and creatures (e.g., ants, spiders, dragons). Players can also use jet packs, tanks, and helicopters to fight enemies in frenetic combat. Battles are accompanied by realistic gunfire and large explosions. Large splashes of red blood frequently appear when creatures are hit and when human characters are attacked.
