The F.E.A.R. series is about to get even more complicated. If you haven't been paying attention original publisher Vivendi owns the F.E.A.R. name while developer Monolith holds the rights to the world and characters. Problem is, they are no longer working together so Monolith is right now developing the direct sequel to F.E.A.R., due in 2008, to be published by their new masters at Warner Bros., but which will not bear the F.E.A.R. name.
Vivendi for its own part is continuing to release expansion packs for the original game, two of which are scheduled for this Fall.
The first, F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate for the PC tells the story of a second F.E.A.R. team, a conceit likely required by Monolith's control of the original F.E.A.R.'s characters.
The second release, F.E.A.R. Files for the Xbox 360 (no PS3 release apparently) is a standalone title which collects Perseus Mandate as well as the first PC expansion, Extraction Point.
So to recap, the true sequels to F.E.A.R. will have a brand new franchise name while the games that continue to be called F.E.A.R. are not truly F.E.A.R. games.
Don't worry. If you weren't confused, I'd be concerned.
