Capcom has detailed a list of rewards for those of you who pre-order Lost Planet 2 from GameStop in North America, as well as confirming that split-screen gameplay will be in the game when it releases on May 18th.

If you pre-order Lost Planet 2 through GameStop, you’ll be able to download two new maps, namely the underwater ‘Helix’ and the island-based ‘Back to the Island,’ details of which you can read below:

Helix:

“The underwater NEVEC mining facility houses several layers and twisted corridors. Swim between the layers, or dive to the bottom to change your point of attack. Aqua Catapults can launch you to the upper levels in a hurry, and you must learn every corner and get the upper hand on your enemies.”

Back to the Island:

“The shady atoll of Island 902 is broken into wide open spaces and compact interiors. Choose your battlefield from the beaches to the battered carrier, or explore a new dimension in the underwater battle. Control the bridge to dominate the map, but beware attacks from all sides.”

Additionally, and as mentioned, split-screen couch play will be included in Lost Planet 2, (from “the development team that brought localized splitscreen gameplay to Resident Evil 5”).

“With the introduction of two-player splitscreen gameplay to Lost Planet 2, gamers can join the battle for control of the precious thermal energy on E.D.N III alongside a friend from the same living room.”

Nice feature!
