We might be more than three months away from the official launch date for Lost Planet 3, but the development team at Spark Unlimited and publisher Capcom are already giving fans a chance to take a look at an extensive piece of gameplay taken from the single-player mode.

The new game is a prequel to the entire series and will mix third-person shooter gameplay with some mech-based sections.

The game will once again ask players to conserve thermal energy and deal with the complex native life forms of E.D.N. III.

Lost Planet 3 will be launched on June 25 in North America, two days later in Japan and on June 28 in Europe and can be played on the PC, the PlayStation 3 from Sony and the Xbox 360 from Microsoft.
