Lost Planet demo coming to U.S. PSN

The multiplayer demo for the PlayStation 3 version of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition will appear on the U.S. PlayStation Network store today. This multiplayer demo features a single multiplayer map (titled Pirate Fortress) and support for only 8 players (the full game will support up to 16 players).

Despite the seemingly frugal number of maps, the demo sports two of the four multiplayer modes, Elimination (standard deathmatch mode) and Team Elimination. The retail version of Lost Planet for the PS3 will have four multiplayer modes altogether, including the two from the demo, plus Post Grab and Fugitive.

Lost Planet for the PS3 will arrive at retail starting Feb. 26.
