F.E.A.R. 3 continues the F.E.A.R. brand legacy, unleashing a paranormal horror first person shooter that delivers frenetic combat grounded in reality. F.E.A.R. 3 evolves the brand, introducing Divergent Co-op for two players: deep, social gameplay giving players distinctly different abilities which can affect their own play as well as the experience of the gamer they are playing with. Players can take on the role of Point Man, a genetically enhanced soldier with superhuman reflexes and the ability to manipulate time, or the undead spirit of his brother Paxton Fettel, a paranormal entity who possesses incredible psychic powers.
F.E.A.R. 3 ’s frenetic combat experience empowers players with robust features like active 360 degree cover, evolved slow-mo modes, scoring systems to incentivize personal gameplay style, and best in class mech combat. Gamers face an army of soldiers and paranormal enemies who don’t follow the rules of reality.
Nine months ago, Point Man and his F.E.A.R. squad were tapped to stop a telepathically gifted cannibal who had begun a murderous rampage. Point Man learned the target was his brother, Paxton Fettel, working alongside their tortured and psychically powerful mother, Alma Wade. Despite this revelation, Point Man followed orders to destroy them and subsequently ravaged the surrounding city and most of his F.E.A.R. team. Now, it is clear Alma’s psychic influence survived— and worse, she is about to birth something that could destroy the world. Fettel has returned from death with an unclear agenda, refusing to leave Point Man’s side and asking for help to reach Alma. The remaining F.E.A.R. squad is still trying to complete their mission. With his chain of command broken and Point Man calling his own shots, where will his allegiance lie?
