Warner unveils F.E.A.R. 3

Due this autumn on PC, PS3 and 360.

Warner Bros. has unveiled F.E.A.R. 3 for an autumn release on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.

It doesn't appear to be called F.3.A.R., as suggested by the Spanish magazine leak last month.

Series creator Monolith Games will only collaborate on this project, with Day 1 Studios doing the bulk of the work.

The story follows spooky girl Alma's two sons, Point Man and Paxton Fettel, who can be played co-operatively through the campaign. Point Man's a super soldier whereas Fettel has telekinetic powers. Both have "distinctly different abilities", apparently.

Helping make the game scary will be Hollywood director John Carpenter (Halloween, Village of the Damned) and writer Steve Niles (30 Days of Night).

That's all for now.
