Color me sad: Capcom has announced that
Lost Planet 3 has been delayed until August.
The publisher announced the delay of all three versions of the game until August 27, 2013. There was no reason given in the official press release; actually, the delay was given as a side-note amidst a bunch of other promotional chatter for their other games.
I actually find it a little comforting to see the game being pushed back a bit. The second installment of the franchise was an absolute mess and a disservice to the original classic. The third game looks to be going back to everything that made the first game great, namely the frozen setting and all of the gameplay associated with the deep snow and arctic settings.
