Sizable news reaches us overnight, as we learn that 2 has finally been confirmed by Capcom. The Japanese publisher has been threatening a sequel for some time, and it looks like this new game is set for the 360.

Gameplay footage from the new game has been shown off via a new movie, confirming the title's existence, with climate change taking place over the original game - melting snow giving way to lush jungle.

Resident Evil 5 producer Jun Takeuchi was on hand to talk up the new title, revealing that a co-op mode will be included, while we also catch word that will be looking at fan feedback with this new game.

We'll bring you more on Lost Planet 2, soon.
