F.E.A.R. 3 Announced As "F.E.A.R. 3"

The logo, however, tells a different tale.

Day 1 Studios is hard at work on F.E.A.R. 3, which is due for PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 this fall. Though the press release only ever calls it "F.E.A.R. 3," the logo treatment is the same as that leaked image we spoke about recently:

No Caption Provided
So... dumb logo, but at least they're not actually calling it that. The game will feature cooperative play, with one player playing as Point Man and the other as his bad brother, Paxton Fettel. Each player will have different abilities and the experience is being described as "divergent co-op." Fettel will have telekinetic abilities, and the game will have an "evolved" cover system.

The rest of the press release is devoted to ensuring you that Day 1 has been "working closely" with Monolith, the game's original developers, to make sure they get it right. Horror icon John Carpenter is giving input on the game's cinematics while Steve Niles gets a co-writing credit on the script.
