| Systems: | PS2 |
| Due date: | Winter 2002, then Spring 2003, then Summer 2003 |
Fear Effect: Inferno is a cancelled PS2 game from Kronos Digital Entertainment.
It was to be the third game in the Fear Effect series.
Plot
Inferno was to feature the iconic lesbian cops, Hana and Rain.
Deke and Glas are back as well.
The game was to take place two years after the first game (since Retro Helix is a prequel).
The boss of the Triad, Minx, threatens to kill Rain if Hana stops working for him.
Yim Lau Wong would be involved as well in some way.
Gameplay
Fear Effect: Inferno would have followed the formula of the first two games: fast combat, guns, gore, sexual tension, horror, and cinematic cutscenes.
You would have been able to play all four characters: Hana, Rain, Deke, and Glas.
In fact, all four of those characters are in a relationship with another in the team.
A love triangle forms between Hana, Rain, and Glas. Deke also gets it on with Rain.
Cancellation

Fear Effect: Inferno was cancelled by Edios Interactive in 2003 due to quality measures.
The delayed development gave Eidos pause for thought. In the end they axed it.
Kronos was hoping another publisher would bite. None heeded the call.
Eidos was more interested in Tomb Raider than Fear Effect.
Kronos Digital Entertainment went defunt in 2002.
Fear Effect came back with Fear Effect Sedna.
It is a sequel to the first game but not related to Inferno.
