We first heard about this new title yesterday, and today the publisher drops by to confirm that 2 is set to be an exclusive - like the original release was (initially).

Sorry gamers, it looks like you've a wait on your hands once again, the game maker going on to affirm that the title will include non-Arctic environments, a brand new story, and a four player co-op mode.

"Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced that Lost Planet 2 is being developed for the 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, following an exclusive announcement on that happened Monday, February 23," enthuses an official release offered up this afternoon.

We've no release date yet - but Capcom are likely to commence the spilling of beans soon.
