Lost Planet 3
Lost Planet 3 coming in 2013. Spark Unlimited developing
Lost Planet 3 is a real thing. A trailer from Captivate has shown that Spark Unlimited is developing the game for a 2013 launch on PS3 and 360.
Capcom is set to launch Lost Planet 3 next year, the game’s debut trailer from Captivate has announced. The video got out ahead of a general 4pm embargo this afternoon.
The trailer begins with a man named Jim running from a creature chasing after him in a station of some sorts. The pair then emerge to the series’s traditional snowy environment, where a standoff brews between the two.
jim shoots the creature chasing after him, but comes across a second monster. He has run of ammo and legs it to find a frozen mech, which emerges after being ‘awoken’.
Bleeding from his earlier encounter, Jim gets into the mech and sees the second enemy run away. A bigger monster then appears to take on the mech, but is eventually taken down.
A storm is then approaching on the horizon, to which the man in the mech escapes from.
The game’s new logo then appears and confirms a 2013 launch for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
Spark Unlimited, who did Legendary: The Box and Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, is developing the game. The past two games have been made internally at Capcom in 2006 and 2010 respectively for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. A PC SKU for LP3 wasn’t mentioned in the trailer.

UPDATE: Naturally, it seems that the game will be ported to the PC. Although Capcom hasn’t confirmed anything yet, Spark Unlimited’s ‘job listings’ page suggests that they are developing an unannounced title for PS3, X360 and PC. As the page reads:
Some might say that the pre-production game for current generation consoles could be Lost Planet 3. Well, that’s not the case. While browsing some of these job applications, we found out that the game that is in pre-production will be a ’3rd Person Action Slasher with Horror elements for the Ps3 and Xbox360′. Now we all know that Lost Planet is not a slasher but a shooter game (and we definitely know that it won’t be a horror game). Moreover, in another job application, we can clearly see that Spark is developing a third-person action shooter for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC markets. Ding ding ding. And we have a winner everyone.“We are in production on an unannounced high-profile, popular game sequel for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC release. We have just entered pre-production on a franchise and genre extending game also for the current generation consoles.”
So yeah, Lost Planet 3 will definitely hit the PC at a later date. Special thanks to our reader ‘bkhtrv’ for spotting the jobs page.
UPDATE2: NDA lifted and Lost Planet 3 is officially coming to the PC in 2013. Rejoice PC fans!
Lost Planet 3 introduces Jim, a rig pilot who leaves Earth to take on a hazardous but lucrative contract on E.D.N. III. Working for Neo-Venus Construction (NEVEC) who are preparing the planet for colonization, Jim joins his fellow pioneers at the Coronis base and begins surveying the uncharted terrain and obtaining samples of the planet’s energy supply – Thermal Energy.
With NEVEC’s existing Thermal Energy reserve running low the fate of the Coronis mission depends on the natural source of the energy supply being located. Realizing that this is a great opportunity for a huge pay-off and early ticket home to his family, Jim braves the risk of the treacherous environment and threat of the indigenous Akrid. Acting as a home away from home and boasting an array of tools that can assist Jim on the field, the utility rig provides Jim’s safety and is essential for not only his contract work but also his protection against the ever-changing climate.
Lost Planet 3 will deliver a diverse range of gameplay including on-foot battles and intense first person action. With a number of multiplayer modes and a compelling single player experience, Lost Planet 3 will delve deeper into the Lost Planet universe, uncovering hidden truths within the unique and dynamic environment of E.D.N. III.
