Capcom announced that fans who pre-order Lost Planet 2 at GameStop in North America will be able to download two new 16-player multiplayer versus maps of Lost Planet 2. Originally announced as a GameStop exclusive, the playable skin of Resident Evil 5’s Albert Wesker and the powerful Magnum Revolver weapon received such massive demand, Capcom decided to give them to everyone who purchased the game. Also, Capcom confirmed that Lost Planet 2 will feature two-player splitscreen gameplay.
The new map packs include:
- Helix – The underwater NEVEC mining facility houses several layers and twisted corridors. Swim between the layers, or dive to the bottom to change your point of attack. Aqua Catapults can launch you to the upper levels in a hurry, and you must learn every corner and get the upper hand on your enemies.
- Back to the Island – The shady atoll of Island 902 is broken into wide open spaces and compact interiors. Choose your battlefield from the beaches to the battered carrier, or explore a new dimension in the underwater battle. Control the bridge to dominate the map, but beware attacks from all sides.
Here some screenshots featuring the Helix and Back to the Island maps and some Splitscreen action.
