"KILL BIG" TODAY AS LOST
PLANET®
2 SHIPS FOR THE XBOX 360®
AND PLAYSTATION®3
Capcom, a leading worldwide
developer and publisher of video games, today
announced the global availability of Lost
Planet® 2 for Xbox 360® video game and
entertainment system from Microsoft and
PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system.
Produced by Jun Takeuchi of the highly acclaimed
2009 title Resident Evil®5, Lost Planet 2 is the
sequel to landmark third-person shooter Lost
Planet®: Extreme Condition. Lost Planet 2
features a campaign playable in both online
four-player co-operative mode and two-player
splitscreen, plus 16-player online multiplayer.
In every game mode, Lost Planet 2 allows players
to customize their unique characters with
upgradable weapons, abilities, taunts, and
character parts. A Lost Planet trademark,
players can also pack some real firepower as
they pilot robotic vital suits. Following
community feedback from Lost Planet: Extreme
Condition, the Vital Suits return with more
variety, including some that carry two or three
players.
Set over ten years after the events of the first
game, the story of Lost Planet 2 begins after
terraforming efforts have melted away the iconic
snow and ice of E.D.N III giving way to harsh
deserts, lush jungles, and city environments.
Players control their hero through six
interconnected episodes, each seen from the
perspective of a different human faction
residing on the planet. Utilizing Capcom’s
proprietary graphics engine, MT Framework™ 2.0,
the planet comes to life with foliage and
structures that react to the massive explosions
resulting from the battles that are taking place
all over the planet. The true stars of Lost
Planet 2 are the larger than life Akrid that
inhabit E.D.N. III. Players will utilize
teamwork tactics, their arsenal of weapons, and
numerous robotic vital suits as they fight for
control of the thermal energy that is held
within these beasts.
In addition to the intense co-operative campaign
mode, Lost Planet 2 contains a robust
multiplayer versus mode allowing for up to
16-players in a match. The competitive mayhem of
the multiplayer versus mode of Lost Planet 2
will take place across ten different maps and
five different game types, including Data Post
Battle, Akrid Egg Battle, Fugitive, Elimination
and Team Elimination. Also offered today via
XBOX® Live and PlayStation®Network is the first
piece of downloadable content for Lost Planet 2
with Map Pack #1 available for 400 Microsoft
Points or $4.99 on PSN. Featuring two new maps
for the online multiplayer, Helix and Back to
the Island, Map Pack #1 was originally offered
as a pre-order item but is now available to all.
Lost Planet 2’s deep levels of customization
allow players to customize their character and
express their individuality online. Extending
past Lost Planet 2 characters, players can
unlock Capcom favorites Albert Wesker of the
Resident Evil® series, and Dead Rising®’s Frank
West to play throughout the campaign and in
online multiplayer matches. Console-specific
skins include Dominic Santiago and Marcus Fenix
from the Gears of War® games for XBOX 360
owners. Available as a future download, PS3™
owners will be able to download a skin from
Monster Hunter® series.
