10 Screenshots from F.E.A.R. 3

Warner Bros. Interactive and Day 1 Studios have released the first ten official screenshots showcasing this autumn's upcoming F.E.A.R. 3 .

From bloody creatures in the darkness to futuristic mechs, these screens show the range that you'll be facing in this third entry into the dark world of the F.E.A.R. series.

This iteration of the series focuses on Point Man and Paxton Fettel, Alma's sons, and their unique abilities. With a heavy focus on co-op, their skills should be interesting to dive into. In the official words, "Gamers participate in single player or co-op modes as Point Man, a genetically enhanced super soldier originally introduced in F.E.A.R., or they can play cooperatively as his conniving brother Paxton Fettel, whose incredible telekinetic power has given him life beyond the grave."

Click on any of them to see them bigger in the game's screenshot gallery.
