Not much is known right now in regards to if they’ll play a pivotal role in Lost Planet 2, or if they’ll just be characters players can choose to bring along for some bug squashing fun.  Regardless how they’ll interact with the Lost Planet 2 story, I think it’s easy to say with Marcus & Dom’s previous experience fighting grubs, they’ll do just fine with what Lost Planet 2 has to throw at them.

Well, well, well.  Why, hello there Lost Planet 2 screens.  You’re looking mighty fiiiine.

Capcom recently released a slew of updated Lost Planet 2 screens and from what I’ve seen, it seems like Lost Planet 2 is going to be a much bigger game than it’s predecessor.  If you’ve played Lost Planet, then you know that is quite a feat as that game was not only huge, but the Akrid were quite a challenge as they were sometime 10x bigger than Wayne was!  Throw in it’s addictive multiplayer & new co-op mode, and I could see myself playing this for a long time once it’s released this winter.
