Capcom has finally given Lost Planet 2 a release date, and the sci-fi action sequel will launch May 18 on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Lost Planet 2 is set 10 years after EDN III underwent substantial terraforming that replaced the frigid tundra with large swathes of lush forests. Its campaign will follow the protagonist and three non-player characters through six chapters, and each will have multiple outcomes that hinge on players’ actions.

Along with the date announcement, Capcom also revealed that characters from another major game franchise will be making cameos in Lost Planet 2, including Marcus Fenix and Dominic Santiago from the Gears of War games.
