Publishers Warner Bros. have confirmed that the horror based F.E.A.R franchise will return this year with the release of F.E.A.R 3.
According to Shack News F.E.A.R’s protagonist Point Man will return with the addition of his brother Paxton Fettell as a playable character in F.E.A.R 3’s “divergent co-op” mode, where each have “distinctly different abilities affecting their own play as well as the experience of their co-op partner.”
Day 1 will also be involved with regards to console port development.
“After working closely with Monolith, Day 1 is honoured to bring the next iteration of the F.E.A.R. franchise to gamers with key elements of the past games yet providing fresh combat and horror experiences in F.E.A.R. 3,” commented Day 1 founder Denny Thorley who added that “players can look forward to new features such as divergent co-op, an evolved cover system, and more scares in F.E.A.R. 3.”
F.E.A.R 3 will be released on PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 later this year.
