Capcom has announced a sequel to its 2007 third person shooter Lost Planet

Lost Planet 2 is set 10 years after the original game, and features jungle environments, a new Gears of War-style cover system, and emphasis on co-op play.

Kenji Oguro, who directed the original Lost Planet, is back on board as director, and is joined by producer Jun Takeuchi, who worked on Resident Evil 5.

“Lost Planet 2 has evolved in a new unique experience that allows players to control various groups of Snow Pirates giving them a variety of different perspectives throughout the journey," read a Microsoft press release. "The developers also felt it was important to listen to the fans and Capcom is proud to announce that a new type of co-op mode will be implemented into the game."

Capcom hasn't yet confirmed to us if Lost Planet 2 will be multiplatform, and there's been no mention of release dates, though you can check out the trailer on Xbox Live Marketplace.
