Comment of the game producer
Thank you very much for selecting “EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6” for Award for Excellence.
After previous title “EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 5” was received very well, we started development of this one to make up a story closely connected with the previous story, needless to say to realize quality and volume exceeding the previous title.
We took five years to release this game after the previous title. We are sorry to have warried you who were looking forward to this title as we had to extend the development period due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Under such circumstance, we of the development team of SANDLOT Inc. determinedly worked to “create a good game”, “satisfy users” and “make players surprised” about connection with the story of the previous title, which is the characteristic of this title.
We appreciate all of you who supported this title.
This series celebrated 20th anniversary this year. Allow us to use this opportunity to offer our thanks to all members of EDF who have supported not only this title but also this series to date.

We are really honored that we are selected for Award for Excellence.
20 years have already passed since the first release of this series. “EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 6” is a compilation of the series. It has the largest ever volume. It also required the largest ever labor pain. We suffered COVID-19 pandemic and had to largely delay completion of the title from the schedule. But we could win such a wonderful award receiving support of many people.
We are truly grateful to you who played the game. We will continue to make efforts to create more superior games.
