I’m curious if they decided to go with a story reboot. I think even EDF 4 had most of humanity’s population killed in the chaos.
Not that story especially matters in these games!
Story-wise EDF 6 is a sequel to 5, which was a reboot. The in-game ridiculous storytelling through radio communications is part of its charm, I find.
6 is a direct sequel to 5, which was a reboot (and partially remake of with how much got recycled) 4.
I don't think we'll ever get a continuation of EDF 3/4 (2017/2025) aside from the continuity nod that was World Brothers.
