It seems that Lost Planet: Colonies that we reported about last month, will not be an entirely new game based on the Lost Planet Franchise. Famitsu and Xbox360 Fanboy have confirmed that Lost Planet: Colonies is nothing more than a remade version of the original Lost Planet: Extreme Condition with a couple of cool – no pun intended – features thrown in.



Here’s a quick run down of what is expected in the re-released version:

• New Multiplayer modes, including Humans VS Akrid
• 4 New maps, 2 of which are possibly a city and a desert
• New Female Playable Character
• Ten New weapons
• New Monsters
• Trial Battle and Score Attack modes for the campaign bosses
• 360/PC Cross-platform play

Having enjoyed the original outing of the game, I wouldn’t mind giving the redux version of it a go as well when it is finally released. Expect more details on this soon!
