Lost Planet 3 has players return to the extreme and unpredictable conditions that characterized the Lost Planet series. Players take on the role of Utility Rig pilot Jim Peyton who leaves Earth to take on a hazardous but lucrative contract on E.D.N. III.

While under attack from E.D.N. III’s indigenous Akrid, Jim’s Utility Rig falls down an icy fissure where he finds himself in what appears to be a secret base hidden beneath the planet’s frozen surface.

Here is the official trailer for Lost Planet 3. It shows lead character Jim Peyton landing on the frozen wastes of E.D.N. III and finding out that all is not kosher on the foreboding ice planet.

Seems like there’s going to be a plot that’s actually digestible in this Lost Planet—developed by Spark Unlimited—and some storytelling that doesn’t just shuffle players from one big set-piece to the next. We can only hope, right?
