This morning Capcom has announced a playable multiplayer demo for their upcoming ‘Lost Planet’ Xbox 360 game will be available for free download via Xbox Live Marketplace on Thursday, November 23. Capcom describes the demo as follows, “Lost Planet’s highly anticipated multiplayer demo 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 has dubbed the day after “White Friday,” and on this day will launch a special pre-order program through retailers that will grant those willing to fork out a few bucks to secure a copy access to a demo disc that includes a multiplayer map not available through the Xbox Live demo.
“The primary focus for Lost Planet has been on raising the bar on what we deliver to our fans, not only through the quality of the game itself but in its supplementary campaigns as well,” said Charles Bellfield, vice president, marketing, Capcom Entertainment, Inc. “In addition to an incredibly packed Collector’s Edition, we are continuing to reward our most devoted fans with real, significant content that they can truly appreciate.”
And if that isn’t enough ‘Lost Planet’ marketing to tickle your 360 bone, keep your eyes out for a CGI trailer to appear in front of films such as ‘Casino Royale.’
‘Lost Planet’ will be released to stores exclusively on Xbox 360 in January.
