Capcom have, finally, officially announced Lost Planet 2. Although they’re yet to confirm which platforms the game will be appearing on i’m pretty sure it’ll be coming to PS3, as the first one did (eventually). There’s been ten new screenshots released to go alongside the announcement.

Here’s what the press release says about the game:

“Lost Planet 2 picks up 10 years since the events of the original adventure and the landscape has evolved dramatically. With the success of terraforming activities, the planet’s ice has begun to melt, giving way to lush tropical jungles and other new environments. The story has advanced beyond Wayne Holden as players will now follow the exploits of their own customized snow pirates on their quest to seize control of E.D.N III. Players will move their heroes through different stories creating a truly unique and interactive experience. With this concept, gamers will have the opportunity to engage in the story in a more dynamic way as plot threads evolve from various perspectives.”

And also

“Beyond the deep single player mode, Lost Planet 2 is loaded with one the most extensive multiplayer campaign seen in a shooter to date. 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.”

Never played the first one, but this sounds pretty good. Consider me excited. Check out the announcement screens below and the trailer at the top of this story.
