In a press release put out today by Square Enix they announced that Square Enix Collective, Square Enix’s own take on a Steam Greenlight-like system, will be backing the Kickstarter campaign for Fear Effect Sedna fort PC and Mac by French developer Sushee. If funded Square-Enix will provide support and advice and ultimately publish the game. They made the Fear Effect franchise available for developers to pitch to Collective last year along with other abandoned Eidos IPs like Gex and Anachronox. Square Enix still retains ownership of these IPs.
Fear Effect was a short lived series consisting of two games on the PS1, developed by the now defunct Kronos Digital Entertainment, and published by Eidos. A third installment was planned for the PS2 but it never happened.
