For all of those waiting to play Lost Planet on their Playstation 3s, your wait is over.

Starting today, U.S. PSN accounts will be able to download a multiplayer demo for Lost Planet. The demo features only one map (Pirate Fortress) and support for 8 players, and it also only offers two of the four multiplayer modes found in the full game.

Elimination and Team Elimination are essentially just deathmatch and team deathmatch. Post Grab (a sort of capture the flag) and Fugitive are sitting this one out, but will be on the retail disc. The full version also supports up to 16 players, as opposed to the 8 supported by the demo.

Check it out now, and prepare for Lost Planet’s February 26 release.
