Lost Planet 2, set to ship for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC "sometime in the calendar year 2010," as publisher Capcom so eloquently puts it, was on display at a private suite outside of CES in Las Vegas this week. We saw it. We played it. We walked away impressed. This time around, you'll be able to go it alone, against friends or with them in fully fleshed out online adversarial and cooperative modes.

About this Game
A decade has passed since the events of Lost Planet, and the face of E.D.N. III has changed dramatically. Terraforming efforts have been successful and the ice has begun to melt, giving way to lush tropical jungles and harsh unforgiving deserts. Players will enter this new environment and follow the exploits of their own customized snow pirate on their quest to seize control of the changing planet.
Players control their heroes across 6 interconnected episodes, creating a truly unique interactive experience that changes depending upon the actions of the players involved. With this concept, players will have the opportunity to engage in the story in a much more dynamic way as plot threads evolve from different players' perspectives. Beyond the deep single player mode, Lost Planet 2 is loaded with extensive multiplayer modes. The intense and action packed campaign mode comes with the ability to form teams of up to 4 players online to clear mission objectives with friends.
