Activision has just announced that they have entered an agreement to distribute all Capcom titles in Australia and New Zealand. One of the first new titles distributed under the agreement will be the well previewed Sci-Fi Shooter Lost Planet: Extreme Condition for the Xbox 360 early in 2007. As well as this, we can expect the titles Okami and God Hand. Good news for those anticipating Clover's latest, greatest and, sadly, last.

From the press release:

'We are delighted to be working with one of the most admired Japanese video game companies in the world,' said John Watts, Senior Vice President, Managing Director, Asia/Pacific Region, 'the calibre of Capcom's products is second to none and this new relationship underscores Activision's commitment to bringing some of the world's biggest game franchises to the Australian and New Zealand markets. We are very excited to be working with Capcom and look forward to a long and successful partnership with them in this territory'.

President and acting Chief Executive Officer, Capcom USA, Inc., President, CE Europe Ltd. Hiroshi Tobisawa had this comment about the collaboration, 'This region is extremely important to Capcom and with Activision we have found a partner with unparalleled knowledge and expertise of the Australian and New Zealand markets. This will prove invaluable for the launch of Lost Planet: Extreme Condition and the rest of Capcom's 2007 line-up.'

While we're here, the demo for the game can currently be downloaded from the Xbox Live marketplace. For further details on Lost Planet, visit the official Lost Planet website
