While we don't have a release date yet for Lost Planet 3, the latest sequel to the Lost Planet series, developer Spark Unlimited has released a new walkthrough trailer showcasing some of the firepower that players will be using against the alien like enemies known as Akrid. Also on show is some above-ground footage which shows of the quite nice looking environment, plus reveals some saboteur activity to a communication dish.

Lost Planet 3 delivers a mix of action both inside and outside of Jim’s utility rig vehicle. Acting as a home away from home and offering protection from the ever changing climate, Jim soon discovers the utility rig’s array of tools are just as useful at taking out Akrid in the rig’s first person perspective as they are at helping him fulfill his contract work. Outside the rig the action switches to third person with Jim at the mercy of the elements. He’ll need to battle against hostile enemies with a mix of gun and melee based combat whilst surviving all that is thrown at him.

Make sure you check out the video below for a glimpse into a hive of the Akrid, plus some snowy surface gameplay.
