Lost planet 3 introduces Jim Peyton, a rig pilot who leaves Earth to take on a hazardous but lucrative contract on E.D.N. III. Working for NeoVenus Construction NEVEC, Jim is one of a select few pioneers at the Coronis base surveying the uncharted terrain and obtaining samples of the planets natural energy source Thermal Energy, which NEVEC believes will save Earths energy crisis. As the months pass, it becomes apparent that things are not as they seem on E.D.N. III. Who is the mysterious figure that seems to be tracking Jims every move? What is NEVEC base chief Braddock hiding and can Dr Roman help Jim uncover the truth before its too late? Lost planet 3 delivers a mix of action both inside and outside of Jims utility rig vehicle. Acting as a home away from home and offering protection from the ever changing climate, Jim soon discovers the utility rigs array of tools are just as useful at taking out Akrid in the rigs first person perspective as they are at helping him fulfill his contract work. Outside the rig the action switches to third person with Jim at the mercy of the elements. Hell need to battle against hostile enemies with a mix of gun and melee based combat whilst surviving all that is thrown at him. With a number of multiplayer modes and a compelling single player experience, Lost planet 3 will delve deeper into the Lost Planet universe, uncovering hidden truths within the unique and dynamic environment of E.D.N. III.
