Two Lost Planet Demos Downloaded Over One Million Times From Xbox Live
Capcom today announced that the single-player and multiplayer demos of
Lost Planet: Extreme Condition, exclusively for Xbox 360 video game
and entertainment system from Microsoft have been downloaded over one
million times by the global Xbox community. Since the release of the
multiplayer demo on November 23, Xbox Live players across the globe
have spent nearly 300,000 hours locked in furious combat. Lost Planet
carries a PEGI 16 rating and will be available across PAL territories
from January 12.
"Xbox 360 players have now had two
opportunities to try Lost Planet since the first demo was released in
May, and they have in huge numbers," said Hiroshi Tobisawa, President
of Capcom Europe. "Since we made the multiplayer demo available through
Xbox Marketplace, there have been hundreds of thousands of hours spent
playing the game, which is a great testament to the quality of Lost
Planet. This latest demo has completely energized the Xbox community,
giving them something to look forward to in the New Year, when the next
big hit Xbox 360 title hits retail."
Lost Planet's action-packed
multiplayer demo is available as a free download on Xbox Live
Marketplace. Xbox Live Gold subscribers can experience Lost Planet's
highly anticipated multiplayer demo, which 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. 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.
Combining a gripping single player campaign and intense
multiplayer modes with support for up to 16 players via Xbox Live
online game service, Lost Planet promises to be an epic gaming
masterpiece. Taking full advantage of Xbox 360's unprecedented power,
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 hostile creatures in blistering weather conditions
across vast snow fields and deserted cities either on foot or in armed
Vital Suits.
In addition to the standard edition of Lost Planet
Capcom will also release a Limited Edition of the game. Packaged in a
custom designed SteelBook case featuring exclusive cover art, the
premium set will include the game, art book with exclusive concept art
and a heap of multimedia content. As a special bonus, gamers that
purchase the Limited Edition will have exclusive access to an
additional multiplayer map for several months before it is made
available as a free download on Xbox Live Marketplace, in summer 2007.
