Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has announced that Paxton Fettel is available as a playable character in the single player campaign of F.E.A.R. 3. Fettel will be unlocked at the end of each level after first playing through a level as F.E.A.R. protagonist Point Man.
Paxton Fettel offers a unique single player experience focused on his supernatural abilities giving players a new way to play through the level in a way that’s different from Point Man’s enhanced super soldier abilities. In the single player campaign, Fettel will wield his telekinetic abilities to suspend, possess, stun or crush enemies. Giving players a choice in who they play as in single player offers additional gameplay value and enables players to re-play a level using different powers and tactics.
The game introduces a bunch of new stuff to the series, including “divergent co-op, an evolved cover system, and more scares”, according to developer Day 1 Studios’ Denny Thorley. Legendary horror film director John Carpenter is consulting on the project, as well as 30 Days of Night writer Steve Niles.
F.E.A.R. 3 has been delayed numerous times and is currently pegged for a May 2011 launch.
