Earth Defense Force 2017, known in Japan as Chikyū Bōeigun 3 (地球防衛軍3?, lit. "Earth Defence Force 3"), is a third-person shooter developed by Sandlot, and published by D3 Publisher, for the Xbox 360. It is the follow-up to Global Defence Force, and is the first game in the Earth Defense Force series (as well as the first game based on D3's Simple series of budget games) to be released in North America. Earth Defense Force 3 was the best selling Games on Demand game in Japan for 2009. The game was released on the PlayStation Vita in Japan on 27 September 2012. It was released digital-only in North America on 8 January 2013 and in Europe on 16 January 2013.
In the year 2013, radio waves from deep space are picked up by scientists, proving to humans the actual existence of alien life. In the year 2015, the Earth Defense Force, a unified multinational military organization sponsored by nearly every country, is established in case the aliens prove to be hostile.
EDF ground forces are formed around three basic groups; Scout Teams, Ranger Teams, and Storm Teams, which fulfill recon, infantry, and special ops functions, respectively. They are supplied with the latest weapons and equipment, and have hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed on every continent. However, half of the people weren't so sure if these extraterrestrials would be proven to be a threat or menace.
