Lost Planet 3 multiplayer trailer, details

Lost Planet 3 multiplayer will feature four separate modes across six diverse maps, pitting NEVEC against the Snow Pirates. This trailer marks the announcement of two of these modes--Scenario Mode and Akrid Survival.

Scenario Mode sets each team with a series of either offensive or defensive challenges and mixes them up with the extreme and unpredictable conditions of E.D.N. III. Players can compete in both third-person on-foot action and in first-person combat using Vital Suits, a futuristic staple of the LP series.

Akrid Survival sees two teams of three players compete independently of each other in a series of encounters against waves of hostile Akrid before the teams go head to head in a final PvP elimination round.

Lost Planet 3 will be available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on August 27th in North America, August 30th in Europe.
