This is a third-person shooter game developed and published by Capcom as a sequel to 'Lost Planet: Extreme Condition.' It takes place 10 years after the first game’s events, and is set on the same fictional planet, E.D.N. Lost Planet 2 also allows you to play in competitive multiplayer modes, with a maximum of 16 players. You can engage in single-player battle spanning six episodes, or join a co-op group of four players that team up to fight against the swarming Akrid. During gameplay, you are able to select from an assortment of customizable weapons, such as sniper rifles, laser guns, rocket launchers, or machine guns. Gaming action is seen through a third-person perspective, as you engage the Akrid while on foot, or from an expansive collection of Vital Suits. The Akrid, gigantic, insect-like creatures, have also adapted to the changes. This installment finds the world that was formerly frozen transformed into arid deserts and tropical jungles.

'Lost Planet 2' for PS3 is set 10 years after the tumultuous events from the original game of the series.

'We're hoping that that downloadable demo will be available to, you know, not just members of the press, but also to users, round about E3 as well.'Īlthough the original Lost Planet was released in January 2007, an advanced demo version was released on Xbox Live during the preceding E3 in May 2006.Ĭapcom obviously got the bug from that, because Lost Planet 2 will follow a similar course with a late winter release.Īlong with four-player co-operative play and a new split-perspective story mode, the game upgrades multiplayer considerably, with a levelling system and masses of customisation options. We're also hoping to have a downloadable demo that anyone can play, and download just as soon as we can.

'And we're also hoping to have a downloadable demo - one of the things that was very popular from the original Lost Planet. 'We are working hard right now to make sure there is a playable version of this game at E3 for anybody who's going to be in attendance there,' producer Jun Takeuchi said at Captivate 09 in Monaco last week. Capcom hopes to release a downloadable Lost Planet 2 demo during or soon after E3 in early June.
