Lost Planet 2 (ロスト プラネット 2,
Rosuto Puranetto Tsu) is a
third-person shooter video game developed and published by
Capcom and Beeline Interactive, Inc. The game is the sequel to
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, taking place ten years after the events of the first game, on the same planet. The game was developed for
BlackBerry,
PlayStation 3,
Xbox 360 and
Microsoft Windows. Originally set to be released in early 2010, Capcom delayed the game's consoles release to May 11, 2010 in North America and Europe, May 13 in Australia and May 20 for Japan, while the BlackBerry version was released worldwide on April 28 and the Microsoft Windows version was released in October that year. The title sold more than 1.5 million copies worldwide.
Development:
Lost Planet 2 runs on the
MT Framework 2.0, an updated version of the engine used in the original
Lost Planet. A support for the campaign mode can have up to four players working together via the internet.
Unlike its predecessor,
Lost Planet 2 allows players to create and customize their own characters and allows them to unlock more clothing and body types after leveling up and downloading content. The game also allows players to edit weapon models, and color palettes used. However, weapons used in multi-player have to be unlocked through leveling up. Players can take content that they have unlocked in the campaign and take that onto multiplayer versus (and vice versa). In February 2010 the
XBOX 360 version of the game was rumored to have significant cuts in order to make the game fit on a single DVD and the content cut to be available as downloadable content but no confirmation has been given if this content was to be charged for or free. These claims were later to be deemed as a mistranslation. In an interview with the game's producer, he claimed that there was no content cut from the
XBOX 360 version
