D3 Publisher announced on October 15 that an Earth Defense Force pop-up shop will run at Bandai Namco Cross Store Tokyo from October 24 to November 23, 2026. The venue will sell official and collaboration goods plus a D3 Publisher original print T-shirt, with a holographic sticker bonus for every 2,000 yen spent. A trial play session and tournament for Earth Defense Force 6.2 INVADERS FROM ANOTHER WORLD, set for release on March 18, 2027, will also be held.
The event runs from October 24 to November 23, 2026 at Sunshine City World Import Mart Building 3F in Higashi-Ikebukuro, with daily hours of 10:00 to 20:00. Print T-shirt orders close at 19:00 each day because of the printing turnaround, and the store warns that entry restrictions or numbered tickets may be used depending on crowds.
Alongside shop goods, the venue hosts a trial play session and a game tournament for Earth Defense Force 6.2 INVADERS FROM ANOTHER WORLD, scheduled for release on March 18, 2027. Sticker designs are split across two waves: 10 types from October 24 to November 6, and 9 types from November 7 to November 23.
