Capcom cites "business reasons" for two-month delay

Lost Planet 3 has been delayed from late June to late August. The chilly prequel to the bug-blasting series will now arrive on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on August 27 in the U.S. and August 30 in Europe.

E.D.N. III is coming out of a harsh ice age in the time of protagonist Jim, a rig suit pilot trying to support his family back home by hauling minerals.

Turns out the insectoid akrid weren't great fans of humans tearing up their planet even back then, though, and Jim has to fight for his life against the horde in rig and on foot. Series fans should expect the game to handle a bit differently, since development duties were handed over to Western studio Spark Unlimited.

Check out our gameplay demo from Tokyo Game Show to get a feel for the new bug hunt while we wait out the delay.
