Capcom's 2007 sci-fi action game Lost Planet is about to get a revamp later this month with the release of Lost Planet Colonies. We's reported about this game before; new single and multiplayer modes, new maps, new weapons and cross platform multiplayer support between the PC and Xbox 360 versions via Games for Windows Live (it will be only the third game to offer such support, Shadowrun and Universe at War: Earth Assault are the other two).

Today Capcom released a boatload of new screenshots from Lost Planet Colonies that show off scenes from one of the new multiplayer modes, Egg Bandit. This mode has you stealing your enemies Akrid egg and the longer you hold onto it the more points you accumulate. You can also see some of the new maps in the revamp and some of the new mech weapons that you can access. It's looking more and more that Lost Planet Colonies will be a terrific game with a great value price of $29.99.

Capcom's upcoming release of their sci-fi action game Lost Planet Colonies is shaping up to be far more than just the typical revision of an older title. The new version of the game (released back in 2007 simply as Lost Planet) will have a ton of new single and multiplayer modes added to the original. Some new screenshots from the game have been released and show off our favorite new mode, Akrid Hunt, where one player gets to control the massive Akrid monster while other players try desperately to bring it down.

Some of the new screenshots also show off some of the new character models in the game (including one who apparently thinks this is a clothing-optional game).In addition to the new modes, Lost Planet Colonies will also add new weapons, maps and the ability for PC players to play against Xbox 360 players in cross-platform multiplayer. Look for the game to be released to stores in late May for the bargain price of $29.95
