<p>Nineteen years after the release of the original <em>Fear Effect</em> and seventeen years since its sequel, the <em>Fear Effect</em> franchise&#8217;s revival is set to release on March 6th, 2018 for PC, Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, and Xbox One. Initially announced as a kickstarter in early 2016, <em>Fear Effect Sedna</em> acts as a sequel to its predecessors with a reinvented style. The older titles&#8217; constantly changing fixed camera angles are replaced by a top down isometric viewpoint. The series&#8217; core structure remains, but the developers over at Sushee Games hope the fresh perspective and addition of a paused tactical mode can reinvent the IP.</p>
<p><em>Fear Effect Sedna</em>&#8216;s story is co-written by the original series&#8217; writer. According to the studio, 2018 is <em>Fear Effect</em>&#8216;s year. With a successful kickstarter campaign in addition to the announcement of <em>Fear Effect Reinvented</em>, a remake of the first game, Sushee Games is working hard to reconnect audiences with Rain, Hana, Glas, and Deke. <em>Fear Effect Sedna </em>launches at $19.99/€19.99/£15.99.</p>
<p>A snippet of <em>Fear Effect Sedna</em>&#8216;s features are listed below:</p>
<blockquote><p>-The return of the original Fear Effect’s much loved cast of characters<br />
-Isometric viewpoint to enable players to interact with multiple characters at the same time<br />
-Gameplay that mixes real-time action, tactical play, stealth, and puzzles<br />
-The adrenaline-based “Fear Effect” gameplay mechanic that impacts on both attack and defence<br />
-Animated stylistic cutscenes, stunning environments, and classic death cutscenes<br />
-A mature and exciting story that follows mercenaries uncovering the mysteries of Inuit mythology</p></blockquote>
<p>The original <em>Fear Effect</em> launched to positive critical reception, quickly forming a cult audience. Its sequel, <em>Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix</em> garnered a similar level of praise from both critics and users alike. A continuation of the series in the form of <em>Fear Effect Inferno</em> was in development for the Playstation 2. The project&#8217;s delays lead to cancellation along with the disbandment of Kronos Digital Entertainment&#8211;<em>Fear Effect</em>&#8216;s original developer.</p>
