Yet another game originally scheduled for a release in May has now pulled out of that rather crowded month of new game releases. Publisher Warner Bros Interactive has confirmed that its horror-themed shooter F.E.A.R. 3 has suffered another delay and will now be released on June 21. That new release date has also been changed on retailer web sites such as Gamestop.

This is the latest delay for the Day 1 Studios-developed title. It was originally announced as coming out in fall 2010, then pushed back to March 2011 and then to May 24 before today's latest delay announcement.

The first two games in the F.E.A.R. series introduced us to the rather interesting mix of horror combined with first person shooter. Since the game series has a fairly extensive back story, this new trailer promoting F.E.A.R. 3 looks back in time to the first two titles created by Monolith.

It's all there: The strange supernatural girl Alma, the psycho mind fanatic Paxton Fettel and the character you played in the first two titles, the super powered soldier The Point Man. It will bring you up to speed before the new game from developer Day 1 Studios is released on May 24.

F.E.A.R. 3's release date is coming up soon and this week the upcoming horror-themed first person shooter sequel revealed its many multiplayer modes. The new trailer gives you an idea about what these modes are all about.

One of the new multiplayer modes is called Contractions and is basically a survival mode where players have to face off against waves of enemies. By far our favorite mode, in terms of gameplay and title, is F***ing Run (and yes, that's is the actual name) where you have to keep running, shooting enemies ahead of you while avoiding a smoke wall full of death behind you. We will be running to see if F.E.A.R. 3 is good or not on May 24.

While the Point Man and Paxton Fettel are brothers, that didn't stop the Point Man from putting a bullet in Fettel's head at the end of FEAR. Still, there are times when one should move on from the past and work together with what was once an enemy, and apparently that time is now for the sons of Alma. This trailer for FEAR 3 may not show anything especially stunning, but what it does do is creep us out. Perhaps it's the excellent sound design, with all its glitches and droning noises. If the trailer is this disturbing, we have high hopes for the game!

F.E.A.R. 3 is the upcoming and latest entry in the horror-themed first person shooter series. In the latest trailer for the Day 1 Studios-developed game, members of the development team talk about various aspects of the game.

One is the game's levels and enviroments which will range from small close combat settings to more expansive maps. Another is the game's soundtrack which is being written to tie into the horror situations of the game. Finally the trailer touches on the game's overall setting which is influnced greatly by the powers and abilities of F.E.A.R.'s central character Alma. We should see how all of these elements come together when F.E.A.R. 3 is released sometime in May.

Paxton Fettel is one of the most sadistic characters in FEAR, and his return as a playable character in FEAR 3 is intriguing. While we obviously know of the Point Man's main mechanics, Paxton has been mostly unrevealed thus far. This trailer, however, offers a glimpse into all you can do with your sick, blood-red powers. Possession, body explosions, crushing heads, and levitation are all possible, which opens up some twisted (and perhaps morally reprehensible!) paths for the player to take.

F.E.A.R. 3 is charging up its marketing push in advanced of the horror-themed first person shooter's May release date. Today publisher Warner Bros Interactive announced that the game will let players control Paxton Fettel in the game's single player mode.

While the supernaturally powered Fettel will still be playable in the game's two player co-op mode, developer Day 1 Studios will now allow players to control Fettel all by his lonesome in the game's single player campaign. Fettel will be unlocked in each of the game's single player levels once the player completes each level while playing as the heavily armed Point Man. That should add some replay value to the game as Fettel can use his telekentic abilities to take out or posses enemies.

F.E.A.R. 3's release day may have been moved this week from March to May but the horror-themed first person shooter from developer Day 1 Studios is moving ahead, at least in Europe, with plans for a Collector's Edition of the game. A video showing its contents was posted up earlier this week.

Besides coming in custom packaging, the Collector's Edition will include a code to access a unqiue weapon and a DC Comics-produced F.E.A.R. comic book. But the centerpiece of the edition has to be the 7 inch figure of a creepy and very pregnant Alma, the central character in the game franchise. It even glows in the dark. There's no word on when the truly scary edition will be released in the US.

The horror-themed first person shooter sequel F.E.A.R. 3 may have had its release date pushed back yet again. The game from developer Day 1 Studios and publisher Warner Bros Interactive was originally supposed to come out last fall and then was delayed until March 22. A few days ago, however the game's official message boards had a post from its administrator announcing yet another delay.

According to the message board post, the new release date for F.E.A.R. 3 will be sometime in May 2011 with the post saying the decision was made "to deliver the best possible game for our fans."

After being pushed back from a previously planned fall 2010 release schedule, the horror shooter sequel F.E.A.R. 3 now has a solid release date. IGN reports that the game from developer Day 1 Studios and publisher Warner Bros. Interactive is due to be released in the US on March 22, 2011.

In addition to the new release date, the publisher also revealed that select retailers will offer pre-order incentives for F.E.A.R. 3. Amazon.com will give pre-order customers a 12-page prequel comic book to the game. Best Buy offers an exclusive in-game weapon, The Shredder while GameStop customers get their own exclusive weapon, The Hammer.
