Capcom may finally bring one of its greatest co-op games back to PC, but it also just deleted everyone’s saves for it

Capcom may be preparing to re-release Lost Planet 2 on PC following a recent update that deleted players' saved games and disrupted online functionality. The company previously used Games For Windows Live for titles like Dead Rising 2 and Resident Evil 5, which have since transitioned to Steamworks. Lost Planet 2 is noted for its co-op multiplayer features, and fans are hopeful that a re-release could retain these elements. Additionally, Capcom announced significant buffs to the hammer weapon in Monster Hunter Wilds, which may require multiple patches to fully implement.
