Vivendi Universal Games sent out this press release, announcing development of F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault and Recon). In development at Monolith, the game is described as an intense first person shooter with a rich atmosphere and an engaging storyline.

The story begins as an unidentified paramilitary force infiltrates a multi-billion dollar aerospace compound. The government responds by sending in Special Forces, but loses contact as an eerie signal interrupts radio communications. When the interference subsides moments later, the team has been literally torn apart. As part of a classified strike team created to deal with threats no one else can handle, your mission is simple: Eliminate the intruders at any cost. Determine the origin of the signal. And contain this crisis before it spirals out of control.
