Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon coming to Steam
D3Publisher has announced that Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon will be available on Steam for PC this holiday season. Bugs: the best Christmas present ever! This will be the first time we'll see EDF on PC. This version will include all the previously released DLC that the console version received. Expect cloud saves and Steam Achievements. Along with this release, 4 new DLC weapon packs will be available for purchase: The Earth Defense Force Battle Armor Weapon Chest, Trooper Special Issue Enforcer Package, Aerialist Munitions Package, and Tactician Advanced Tech Package. Each pack will contain 10 weapons for your insect disposing pleasure. Are you bugging out over news of the PC version's release? If so, check out some new PC screenshots in our gallery. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
