Capcom
Unveils Lost Planet 2 “Kill Big for Charity” Program
Capcom to Donate Cash for Each
Lost Planet 2 Multiplayer Demo Downloaded
Capcom announced it plans for an
exciting new campaign called “Kill Big for Charity” that ties into the new Lost
Planet 2 multiplayer demo. Kicking off this week as early subscribers begin to
download the demo, the robust charity and community program will include a
donation to Music for Relief for each demo downloaded via Xbox LIVE online
entertainment network or PlayStation Network, a celebrity/charity tournament at
the launch party and a community contest brought to you by Capcom Unity which
will award the biggest Lost Planet 2 fans with spots in the celebrity
tournament.
To launch the program, Capcom will
create a charity fund of $20,000 as a donation for the first one- million Lost
Planet 2 multiplayer demos downloaded on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 from
March 31, when the early access program begins, through midnight PT May 5. If
the demo surpasses the million mark across both platforms, an additional $5,000
will be donated when an extra 500,000 downloads is achieved. Please visit Lost
Planet’s community site,
www.lostplanetcommunity.com for early access codes. They will also be
distributed by various blogs, gaming media sites, and Amazon.com.
To celebrate the May 11th release of
Lost Planet 2, Capcom will throw a pre-launch party in Los Angeles on May 6th.
Fans can get on the list for the party on a first-come basis by signing up at
www.capcom-unity.com
later this month. A Lost Planet 2 celebrity tournament will take place during
the party (participants to be announced at a later date). The winning team will
choose which Music for Relief cause will receive the grand total of the demo
download fund, which can be up to $25,000.
Additionally, beginning April
1, community members will compete for a seat in the celebrity tournament and a
trip to Los Angeles to attend the launch party by submitting their best tips and
tricks for beating the new Lost Planet 2 multiplayer demo to Capcom-Unity. The
Capcom Unity team will choose the four lucky winners and shall post them on
http://www.capcom-unity.com and
www.lostplanet2game.com.
