posted on by Karen Ressler
CAPCOM has announced new release dates for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Windows PC game Lost Planet 3. The game was previously set to ship on June 25 in North America and June 28 in Europe, but will now ship on August 27 in North America and August 30 in Europe.
The game's North American website is advertising various bonuses for pre-ordering the game with various retailers, including weapon upgrades, unique weapons, and characters.
The story, set before the first Lost Planet game, follows "Jim Peyton's time on E.D.N. III as a NEVEC employee seeking out further sources of the planet's energy supply T-Eng. During one of these missions, Jim comes under attack from E.D.N. III's indigenous Akrid, causing his Utility Rig to fall down an icy fissure, leaving him unconscious and injured.
"Jim wakes to find himself in what appears to be a secret base, hidden beneath the planet's frozen surface. On discovering he was rescued by one of the base's inhabitants, Mira, the daughter of Snow Pirate leader, So'ichi, Jim realizes that NEVEC are not the only human inhabitants of E.D.N. III."
While Lost Planet creator Kenji Oguro oversaw the game, California-based Spark Unlimited developed it.
