Lost Planet 2 will be available to purchase tomorrow when it hits stores in the US and Europe. Unfortunately, PS3 owners will have to perform a mandatory install of game data before you can play the game, so be sure to have enough free space available. Hopefully, this will mean better loading times compared to the Xbox 360 version.
Today’s PlayStation Store update adds the Lost Planet 2 Multiplayer Demo for all to download. The demo lets you together with up to 16 players, grab some weapons, jump in a vital suit and compete in Elimination, Team Elimination, or Data post Grab modes. The demo shows off just some of what the full game contains, which ships on May 11th 2010.

We were recently invited down to a secret location near London Bridge to attend a Lost Planet 2 preview event hosted by Capcom. At the event we got a chance to play some 8 v 8 competitive multi-player and 4 player co-op. Here is what we though of the upcoming game, expected in May 2010.
