One of the most successful early titles for the Xbox 360 was sci-fi shooter Lost Planet. Capcom has announced that its sequel is being developed for the Xbox 360, dispelling rumors that the game would launch simultaneously as a multiplatform release. You won’t be stepping back into the thermal suit of Wayne Holden this time though, as you’ll customize your own band of Snow Pirates and attempt to take control of the planet of E.D.N. III.

It takes place ten years after the original and the planet will look very different than it used to. The terraforming efforts have begun to take hold and other environments than arctic wasteland will be seen for once. Players will move their characters through different stories, unravelling the story from different perspectives. The game promises to keep the main gameplay features that made the original such a classic, but with the addition of online four player co-op and new Akrids to fight. The multiplayer mode will be much more in-depth than the standard multiplayer options, with a full campaign for you and up to three friends to embark on.
