Fear Effect Reinvented was announced in August 2017 as part of the Square Enix Collective program, with Fear Effect Sedna developer Sushee set to create this remake of the original game. After years of troubled development, including a complete developer change from Sushee to MegaPixel Studio, fans finally got a new look at the game in a new brief trailer with an unusual wording for its release window at the end of the video.

In a 46-second trailer posted to YouTube from the Forever Entertainment account, a few things were confirmed about this remake, while a lot of information was left up in the air. The game will no longer have fixed-camera angles as in the original game and will adopt a Resident Evil 4-like over-the-shoulder camera. The game will also have cover-based shooting mechanics, similar to the Gears of War series. The expanded remake will also have three separate campaigns. The big stand-out moment of this trailer, though, is the vague release window, which just reads: “Coming sooner than you think.”
Fear Effect Reinvented has had a difficult development but MegaPixel Studio has previously stated it did not want to rush the game and wanted to do justice to the original title, similarly to The Last of Us remake coming soon. It has also been speculated that creating the game has been difficult due to the change in development studios. The last official update regarding Fear Effect Reinvented came earlier this year via the official Discord server of Forever Entertainment, claiming the game was 80 percent complete.
With the publisher of the game claiming the game was pretty far along in early 2022, and with the message at the end of the trailer, it would be reasonable to assume that Fear Effect Reinvented will most likely be releasing sometime in late 2022. For now, fans will just have to wait and see and hope that the game doesn’t get officially delayed into a game-packed 2023.
Fear Effect Reinvented does not have a release date.
