Fear Effect Sedna release date announced

We finally have the release date for the upcoming Fear Effect game, called Fear Effect: Sedna which has been co-written by the original Fear Effect writer who has crafted a brand new chapter for this isometric third-person experience.

Fear Effect fans have been long waiting for a sequel and we are finally getting one, in fact it was the fans that supported the game’s Kickstarter campaign making all this possible with Square Enix Collective’s support.

 

“Fear Effect Sedna generated an amazing response from fans of the series when we ran our Kickstarter, and with the support of Square Enix Collective and co-producer Forever Entertainment, we’re excited to see just what they make of it come release,” offers Benjamin Anseaume, founder of Sushee.

“Developing Fear Effect Sedna has really brought the team here at Sushee together, and that’s exactly what the gameplay is about. Each character has different special weapons and the game includes a paused tactical mode to control different team members at the same time and give orders to work as a team. It’s an approach that taps into the core structure of the original games but, with the technology available to us today, feels very 2018.”

The same developers, Sushee are also working on Fear Effect Reinvented which is a remastered take on the original game that was released on the Playstation 18 years ago. These two games promise to breathe in a new life to the Fear Effect IP, bringing it to a modern audience.

“2018 is a big year for Fear Effect and a big year for Collective alike,” says Phil Elliott, Director of Indie Publishing at Square Enix West. “When Square Enix launched Collective, one of the goals was to see if opening up some of our established IP to benefit indie studios, and it’s great to see how Sushee have gone about the task. Fear Effect Sedna is going to be an important chapter in our story for that very reason, and we think 2018 is going to be the year when gamers finally reconnect with the world of Hana, Rain, Glas and Deke.”

Fear Effect Sedna will be available for the PC, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch on the 6th of March for only £15.99. It will mix real time action with tactical thinking and puzzle solving. Not to mention, the death cut-scenes will return!
