The sequel to Monolith’s horror shooter F.E.A.R. will be known as F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin instead of just Project Origin. Furthermore the game will be releasing on Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and PC February 10, 2009.
While Monolith created the first F.E.A.R., the creators couldn’t use the name as it was owned by Vivendi but still retained rights to its characters and settings.
However, that has changed with Monolith and Warner Bros. Interactive announced that they had purchased the F.E.A.R. brand name from Activision Blizzard. The newly formed mega company stated it was only interested in retaining select Vivendi properties while leaving others in limbo.
