E3 – New F.E.A.R. Game Stuff For The PC And Xbox 360

Sierra Entertainment, a division of Vivendi Games, today announced F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate, an all-new stand-alone expansion pack for Windows PC and F.E.A.R. Files, the complete stand-alone expansion pack series, for Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. Both products are scheduled to ship this fall.

F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate, the second expansion pack for Windows PC, offers both seasoned gamers and those who have never played the original F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon) the ability to jump-in and experience the fright with a brand new team in an all-new experience that presents a different perspective of the events that occur at Armacham. The campaign reveals a parallel story allowing players to take the role of a different F.E.A.R. soldier and battle new enemies that the original team never saw coming.

F.E.A.R. Files features the all-new F.E.A.R. Perseus Mandate campaign, as well as F.E.A.R. Extraction Point, voted “Best Expansion Pack” by PC Gamer, delivering a double dose of chills and action.

F.E.A.R. Extraction Point kicks off where the original game ended. Once the hunter, now the hunted, the new mission is simple… escape. All new locations, weaponry and enemies combine to take the F.E.A.R. franchise to new levels of action and suspense.
