Warner Bros. has announced that F.E.A.R. 3, previously listed for a May 27th release date, has been pushed back a month to June 24th.

Warner Bros. gave no specific reason for the delay but it is possible that they wanted to put a little distance between themselves and the release of L.A. NOIRE which is also being released in late May.

No one we spoke to at the time of this writing was particularly concerned with this development.

    Because they know LA Noire will knock the hell out of them in sales if they went head-to-head with them. Perhaps they just want to wait until the hype over it passes.

    This is a financially smart move for both sides of the market. They can get more buyers if they don't come out at the same time as Noire and the buyers who wants both games can save some cash and still pre-order if they want

    Probably a smart move on their part.

    I don't know... I myself can't bring myself to find anything that would make LA Noire. I heard that it would be less random killing and more talking.

    I think ill be more excited just before the game comes out as opposed to now, so a game improving delay is welcome.

    They don't care about distancing themselves from LA Noire. That game has nothing in common with FEAR 3 so they won't lose out on sales as they are catered to different people. If anything, they delayed the game until Sony can fix PSN. WB is publishing the game after all and they're close with Sony (which is why Sony has been getting those exclusive DLC deals in games like Batman:AA & Mortal Kombat). I expect to see some exclusive DLC on PS3 for the newest Batman game as well.
