D3Publisher’s Earth Defense Force 2025 is set for release next year. The game will be out on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and will see players defend the earth from giant insect aliens. GameInformer has some screens which show that the aliens are literally huge bugs, likes ants and spiders, and not Starship Trooper alien insect hybrids.

The sequel to Earth Defence 3 will also have new weapons and some impressive looking vehicles, more levels and include online multiplayer for the first time in the series.

Puzzle Quest: Galactrix will be landing on XBL next week, on April 8.

The PSN version, however, will not be released on April 9 as you would assume, but will instead land sometime later this spring.

A price point has yet to be revealed for either version.

Namco Bandai owns 95 percent of D3Publisher as of this morning. The company purchased 19,990 shares today, costing 62,000 yen ($628) and putting a value on the buyout at 1,239,380,000 yen ($12.55 million).

It’s not known at this time how the merge will affect D3 Publisher America or Europe.

Namco made a bid for the company last month, and now that it’s settled the rights to publish Ben 10 games and the Vicious Engine will be at Namco’s disposal.

D3 Publisher will unleash its Japanese hack-and-slash Onechanbara: Bikini Samurai Squad on an unsuspecting American public tomorrow via the Xbox 360.

The 360 version takes place before the Wii version, Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers, and while both stories feature Aya and Saki battling zombies, more is planned for the Xbox 360 outing further down the road.

According to an interview with D3′s Alex Coward over on Strategy Informer, a variety accessories and outfits not in the Wii game will be made available, along with a Zombie Wale, sword fighting on a motorcycle, and the girls Misery, Himiko and Reiko.

PS3 users take heart: while the Onechanbara games are not currently heading your way, Cowards says it hasn’t been ruled out yet.

D3Publisher has confirmed to Eurogamer that Puzzle Quest: Galactrix will as be available on PSN as well as XBLA, PC and DS.

Confusion apparently arose when the PC flash site displayed a PlayStation logo ,as D3Publisher had only mentioned the other formats previously.

“Puzzle Quest Galactrix will be available on PSN and Xbox Live in additional to PC and DS,” said a spokesperson when we asked.

Game’s out in March.
