F.E.A.R. Combat teaser

20-day countdown.

Those teasing minxes at Vivendi have stuck up a new F.E.A.R. web page, and it's counting down to something.

"COMBAT is coming" it says, under ticker which, at the time of writing, has about 20 and a half days left on it. Rudimentary calculations suggest that whatever it is during the first minutes after midnight on the morning of August 18th.

You can also sign up for the F.E.A.R. newsletter "and be among the first to get the F.E.A.R. Combat announcement when it is revealed".

So what else do we know? Well, the trademark boilerprint mentions Day 1 Studios and various Xbox trademarks, which suggests it's something to do with the Xbox 360 port of the game.

Then again, it also mentions TimeGate - the studio handling the PC expansion - so that seems to put paid to that.

We'll let you know more when there's more to know...
