Fans Pick Project Origin As Title to F.E.A.R. Sequel

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment has named its planned sequel to the Monolith-developed F.E.A.R. -- Project Origin will be the name of the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC game, chosen by fan votes from a series of fan-submitted finalists. The sequel will continue the original game’s supernatural suspense story of an escalating paranormal crisis that threatens to destroy a major American city. At the center of the calamity is the mysterious Alma, whose rage against those who wronged her triggered a chain of events that have spiraled completely out of control. Now that she has free reign, the consequences will be unimaginable. “Project Origin is the name we can stand behind since it was picked by the gaming community, and this game marks a new beginning for the franchise,” says Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “With the consoles and the PC, we’re dedicated to add a new game dynamic to the universe and build upon what the players loved about the original game.” “Our team really enjoyed letting the fans drive the naming process, and we are excited to expand upon the work we began in the original game and establish Project Origin as a premier gaming franchise in its own right,” said Monolith Productions producer Troy Skinner.
