Capcom today announced plans to release the highly anticipated
multiplayer demo for its arctic sci-fi action shooter, Lost Planet:
Extreme Condition for the Xbox 360 on November 23.
The multiplayer demo will be
available for free download from Xbox Live Marketplace and lets gamers
participate in heated online matches in the "Pirate Fortress" stage
with support for up to 16 players via the Xbox Live online game
service. Players will be able to select from multiple weapons, unique
robotic assault vehicles called "Vital Suits" and four play modes,
including Elimination, Team Elimination, Post Grab and Fugitive. Capcom
debuted Lost Planet's multiplayer gameplay at this year's Leipzig Games
Convention, where its riveting action netted top honours as the Best
Xbox 360 Game at the show. In addition, the game was chosen by Tokyo
Game Show attendees as one of the winners of the illustrious Future
Award.
Hiroshi Tobisawa, President of Capcom Europe, commented:
"Well in excess of 500,000 people have downloaded Lost Planet's single
player demo and we are now pleased to offer Xbox 360 gamers the
opportunity to sample the game's adrenaline pumping multiplayer mode
and test their skills against players around the world."
Combining
a gripping single player campaign and intense multiplayer modes with
support for up to 16 players via Xbox Live, Lost Planet promises to be
an epic gaming masterpiece. Taking full advantage of the unprecedented
power of Xbox 360, Lost Planet will contain an unrivalled level of
detail as advanced light sourcing is used to ensure a realistic
presentation that enhances every explosion, smoke and particle effect.
Enormous world maps unfold as players battle the hostile creatures
during blistering weather conditions throughout vast snow fields and
deserted cities either on foot or in armed Vital Suits. Fostering a
real-time loading system, players can expect a seamless experience that
leaves them completely immersed. Lost Planet will be available across
all PAL territories on January 12, 2007.
