Capcom announced that its sci-fi action shooter, Lost Planet: Extreme Condition will get a SteelBook case packaged Collector’s Edition available at launch, which will include the game, art book, and as a special bonus, an exclusive multiplayer map that won't be available on Xbox Live until in summer 2007.

Capcom debuted the first peek at Lost Planet’s multiplayer action at this year’s Leipzig Games Convention where its riveting action netted top honors as the Best Xbox 360 Game at the show. Combining a gripping single player campaign and intense multiplayer modes with support for up to 16 players via Xbox LiveĀ® 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 the hostile creatures during blistering weather conditions throughout vast snow fields and deserted cities either on foot or with armed vehicles. Fostering a real-time loading system, players can expect a seamless experience that leaves them completely immersed.

“Capcom has one of the most devoted fan bases in the industry and we want our fans to know that we are listening,” said Charles Bellfield, vice president, marketing, Capcom Entertainment, Inc. “More so than any previous title, fan feedback on message boards including the game’s official community site has been tremendous. The wealth of content included in the Collector’s Edition is a direct result of input we have received from our fans.”

Yet under the shroud of ice, a devious plot has been set into motion by the Neo Venus Construction Corporation (NEVEC).
