Lost Planet 3 Revealed as Debut Trailer Leaks

Apparently, Capcom was planning on officially announcing Lost Planet 3 later today, but the debut trailer has managed to prematurely leak on YouTube ahead of the embargo. In the video, you'll see that Lost Planet 3 is eschewing the exotic balmy jungles and scorching deserts of Lost Planet 2, to return to the snowy tundra of the first game, albeit without slow protagonist Wayne this time.

In the CGI trailer you'll also encounter Lost Planet's thermal energy spewing Akrid once again, as LP3's beardy new hero uncovers a buried mech, just the right size for tackling some of the larger Akrid lurking out in the icy wilderness.

Development duties have been handed to Legendary and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty developer Spark Unlimited, with Lost Planet 3 scheduled to launch sometime in 2013. Check out the CG trailer for an idea of what to expect. Assuming it hasn't been taken down by the time you get to watch it... Naturally, we'll have the official vid as soon as it drops.

  • Looks pretty badass.
  • Lets hope it's a bit better than the first two.
  • Capcom, please, stop this. Instead of giving us these knockoffs like Lost Planet and Dragons Dogma, show us some respect and give us the real deal, give us Monster Hunter.
  • I do like Lost Planet, just hope the achievements are less rediculous than grinding for 500 hours, and the controls aren't as horrible.
  • Not sure about this LP3 cause being made by developer Spark Unlimited who did Legendary and Turning Point which i hate.But at the same time i love Lost Planet.
  • Loved the first game on 360 and pc the pc multi was the only multiplay I ever really got into back in the day, the second game was ok but the difficulties needed to stack imo (achievements). I will play the third for sure, it's like Starship Troopers "The only good bug is a dead bug...KILL 'EM ALL".
  • #3 Dragons Dogma looks awesome and its not a knockoff but I agree I would like a MH for the 360 in the UK.
  • @7 Yeah, I guess. I was pretty hasty with my comment. It's just I've been wanting a Monster Hunter game for 360 for ages, and yet instead we keep on getting Lost Planet and now Dragon's Dogma, which are both very similar games, but neither seem to possess the challenge that Monster Hunter gives. I just wish Capcom would take a risk for once and give us Monster Hunter because I'm convinced that on 360 and PS3 it would do extremely well, and the online could finally be up to par with the local co-op and single player.
  • day one buy. unless there is an achievement for being #1 on the leaderboards again
  • Only played LP2, but god was that game strangely amazing. Deep down I knew it was average at best but something about the spectacle of fighting massive insect things... Will definitely give this a shot.
  • Lost Planet 1 was such a good game, then came the second instalment and everybody knows what happened.
  • "Development duties have been handed to Legendary and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty developer..." Urgh...
  • The trailer does look badass! But... Legendary and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty developer Spark Unlimited? Those games were awful, let's hope they've gotten better since then.
  • I loved the first, the second was complete garbage IMO. Will buy the game just for the multiplayer though because it's one of the first games I played online for Xbox. Can't wait.
  • Awesome trailer, and the Akrid look suitably badass. I'm in.
  • I'm still at a loss as to how a Capcom franchise centered on mechs could leave such a bad taste in my mouth. I wish they'd focus their resources on something better (like Dino Crisis, or Ghouls n Ghosts).
  • Heres hoping the 3rd adds more and doesn't take a step back like ninja gaiden
  • I hope Lost Planet 3 returns it's Lost Planet form not 2nd series because 2nd series are awful and biggest letdown and bored gameplay. Please Capcom, listen to us that we want decent Lost Planet 3 and Lost Planet is show what it is. Please do not letdown again like 2nd series. Lost Planet is one of best games on this generation but 2nd series is one of worst games on this generation so 3rd series need match to first series. :)
  • Am I the only one who is thinking of Kinect when I see how he is using the robot?
  • look alright
  • Capcom, Please remove Sparky Unlimited because this devs is one of terrible and look at their games are poor titles. Capcom please do made it your own and not handed to this devs or find someone devs who are better. :)
  • @19 Please, not that.
  • YAYOR! LP3 BOO! Spark Unlimited
  • I love the lost planet series but havnt played the first two nearly enough. This makes me want to rush home and play them all..despite the hard ass achievements. I know capcom gets stick for dlc and ultra editions but I love the new series they release. Lost Planet, Asuras Wrath and now Dragons Dogma!
  • Great more outsourcing...
  • YES YES YES YES FUCK YES!!! YEEEEES! I FUCKING LOVE LOST PLANET! BEST NEWS OF THE YEAR!
  • Loved both games. Never understood why people hated the second one. It made a ton of improvements over the first. My only problem with them are the achievements...GRINDING!
  • Lost Planet 2 was a horrible game as single Player, I wish they have learned by their mistakes this time
  • That trailer is badass!
  • Awesome trailer, but if it's as stupidly hard to complete as the first two, then that's a big NO THANKS.
  • Hope its better than the 2nd which was horrible
  • Every hero is more manly with a beard.
  • Great CGI trailer. How about some in game footage now?
  • So is it still a 3rd person shooter? Cause all the games spark has made so far have been FPS'.
  • Lost planet 3 might just get the jap xbox market going again! Used to love all the japs on lost planet! Made me laugh so much
  • @22 You never know.
  • off topic can we just get resident evil 1-3 HD soon plz capcom on topic game looks cool will have to actualy finish the 2nd one now lol
  • Do Capcom actually make any games themselves now?
  • Sorry Capcom, not going to get suckered into buying this game full price like LP2. I'll wait for this one to hit the bargain bin.
  • Why can't Capcom develop their own games anymore...
  • My hopes and dreams of Spark making Battlefront 3 has been crushed.
  • @40 because its cheaper to get some low rent developer to make it rather than some in-house team. Spark Unlimited have not made ONE good game, they made a Call of duty on the ps2 and xbox and it was so bad, Activision never used them again. I played COD: finest hour and it was shite. Also there a great interview of one of their team defending turning point, basically it was him crying saying no one understand the premise of the game (nothing to do it being broken and crap) Only DR2 worked being given with western developer
  • I hated the first game, and never played a Lost Planet game since.
  • Didn't really like the first 1, loved the 2nd, I hope the 3rd is Co-op it makes it 10x funner.
  • I want a badass Megaman X game!!!!! Reboot the series or make MMX9!!!!
  • @4 I actually got used to the controls pretty fast, somehow. It's fun to have some hard achievements to work towards, but I don't like how some things in LP2 are impossible to do without a big boosting team, and the 1# on the leaderboards things suck. (Though the times mostly aren't hacked, so I guess it's possible)
  • Guaranteed to be another Capcom turd. I agree with the other guys saying they should bring out mh.
  • Cant wait for LP3! :D
  • YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!!
  • Voice acting seems more comical than it should be
