Warner Brothers has confessed that F.E.A.R 3, the co-op sequel to Monolith’s spooky FPS series, has been pushed back to May in order to provide a touch more polish.

“The F.E.A.R. 3 launch date will now be in May 2011, as we look to deliver the best possible game for our consumers,” the publisher told us today.

The game was originally pegged for a Winter 2010 release before being pushed back to March 25 in North America. Hopefully this is for genuine polish and not because it’s rubbish, as I’m somewhat looking forward to it.
