Lost Planet 2 is an upcoming third-person shooter video game developed and published by Capcom. The game is the sequel to Lost Planet: Extreme Condition which was also developed by Capcom, and takies place ten years after the events of the first game, on the same fictional planet.
The story takes place back on E.D.N. III 10 years after the events of the first game. The snow has melted to reveal jungles and more tropical areas that have taken the place of more frozen regions. The game will center on the fictional military organization known as NEVEC (NEo-VEnus Construction) and their ongoing war to gain T-ENG (Thermal-ENerGy). Player(s) will assume control of several different groups of soldiers, called Snow Pirates, and battle the Akrid, a race of large insects native to E.D.N. III. The Akrid have expanded their armies and return much more powerful in Lost Planet 2.
Lost Planet 2 will allow players to complete the campaign with 3 online companions and/or AI bots.
There will be many boss battles in the game, and they will be larger in size than those of the first Lost Planet game. Additionally, there will be many different ways to combat them. According to Eurogamer, the giant monster bosses may be killed by standard gunfire, Vital Suits, or by entering the beasts' intestines via their mouths.[6]
Lost Planet 2 will be split into six episodes, each containing its own story and hero, which all will come together at the conclusion of the game. Also, the campaign experience will change based on the players' actions in the game, though it has not been announced how or to what extent.
Lost Planet 2 will feature a online multiplayer mode that will support up to 16-player versus, 4 player cooperative mode, and will contain game modes used both in Lost Planet: Extreme Condition and Lost Planet: Colonies Edition.
