Capcom has announced that Lost Planet 2 is now available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

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.
