Instead, the game sticks to a group mechanic and while there is a squad of soldiers that the story revolves around, that doesn't necessarily mean that they are the protagonists or that you get to play as them all of the time. Unlike the first game, there isn't one central hero. With thermal energy still a valuable resource, one military organization has taken it upon itself to capture as many of these Akrid as possible, whatever the cost. The thawed environments, while making things more hospitable, has also made way for Category-G Akrid, monsters that are the largest the planet has ever seen, but they also hold more thermal energy due to their size. The planet that was once covered in snow and ice has thawed, revealing environments and vegetation that make the planet more Earth-like. III has certainly seen its fair share of changes.

Over 10 years have passed since the events of the first game, and the planet of E.D.N. Unlike most video game sequels, however, this one is different enough from the original that fans of the prior game might not necessarily be fans of this iteration. The sequels for both games will be multiplatform releases, and Lost Planet 2 will have the honor of coming out first. After Capcom focused on its other big franchises, it has decided to return to the two that got them started on the modern consoles. Both were well liked by the gaming community and sold very well, with the latter title even getting ports to the PC and PlayStation 3. Instead, Capcom decided to start off this generation of gaming on the Xbox 360 with two brand-new IPs: Dead Rising and Lost Planet: Extreme Condition. When Capcom started making games for this generation of consoles, it didn't immediately go for franchise sequels like Devil May Cry 4 or Resident Evil 5, nor did they go for franchise reboots like Bionic Commando or re-releases of their arcade classics.
