Gamescom has gotten off to one hell of a start as Capcom has released a new trailer for their upcoming sci-fi first-person shooter, Lost Planet 3. The footage provides some brief snippets of the first-person story and gameplay. Earth is in the midst of an economic and energy crisis, allegedly it is bad enough that the human race is facing extinction if they do not find a new form of energy, and soon. There are also tons of shots of the ice planet’s Hoth’s fauna, with the protagonist at the center of it all.

Lost Planet 3 will be released on a still unannounced date in early 2013 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. The trailer is available below for your viewing pleasure.
