Welcome to the jungle!
Late last week, Capcom teased us all on Xbox Live that they would be announcing a new game on the 23rd, today, and they certainly didn’t disappoint. In a video only released to the Xbox Live community, RE5 producer Jun Takeuchi introduced the game with a subsequent Q&A with the game’s director Kenji Oguro.
Today, Xbox 360 owners across the globe have front row seats to the exclusive unveiling of Capcom’s “Lost Planet 2.” Announced for the first time via an exclusive seven-minute downloadable video in English and Japanese, gamers will get a sneak peek of what they can expect when the third-person shooter returns to Xbox 360. Also included is a video intro by “Lost Planet 2” producer, Jun Takeuchi and a Q&A with the game’s director Kenji Oguro.
The sequel to the blockbuster “Lost Planet: Extreme Condition,” which debuted on Xbox 360 two years ago, takes place on the planet E.D.N. III 10 years after the conclusion of the original title. During that time a massive climate change has taken place which has melted the snow and created brand-new environments, including a new lush jungle setting which gamers will get their first glimpse of in the new trailer. The gameplay of “Lost Planet 2” has evolved in a new unique experience that allows players to control various groups of Snow Pirates giving them a variety of different perspectives throughout the journey. The developers also felt it was important to listen to the fans and Capcom is proud to announce that a new type of co-op mode will be implemented into the game.
The video is made almost entirely from real in-game footage, giving Xbox 360 owners and “Lost Planet” aficionados around the world plenty to be excited about from the next installment of the hit franchise.
