Back in 2017, a full remake of the original Fear Effect called Fear Effect Reinvented was announced. It has been a little over five years since the announcement, and now the game has resurfaced with a new trailer that provides a better look at the game.
The new trailer, which you can watch right below, provides a quick overview of the game, confirming it will retain the unique cel-shaded looks of the original and updated gameplay, with cover-based shooting action. Unfortunately, the trailer does not confirm when the game will launch, but it suggests that it is coming sooner than we think.
