Capcom has announced that a full online co-op demo for Lost Planet 2 will arrive on Xbox Live this Wednesday, the 19th of August. The demo will be available to Live Gold members on the 19th with Silver level members able to join the fight on the 26th of August. The publisher has not released details of when the demo will be available on the PlayStation Network.

Players will be required to work together if they are to take down the G-Type Salamander Akrid boss, using Vital Suits together, sharing T-ENG and using the new Injection Gun to boost your allies attack and defense power.

Find out more about the demo below.

“Utilizing a host of weapons scattered through out the arena, squads of up to four players will face off against the huge monster in an attempt to bring it down. Players can assault the Salamander in a number of ways, from shearing off its legs to actually being swallowed and fighting their way out from the inside!”

“Superior firepower comes in many flavors, including numerous beam and projectile weapons and several Vital Suit robotic combat units that up to three players can ride at once. There are new support weapons which allow teammates to boost attack and defense abilities, while players can share life-giving thermal energy amongst injured members of their squad. Additionally, the new Dash feature allows players to sprint for short distances, bringing greater speed to combat.”
