 Project Origin gets name change Tues, 9 September 2008 Project Origin becomes F.E.A.R. 2; also gets release date
 Ahh! It's the evil ugly girl!! RUN!! Developer Monolith, and its parent company Warner Bros, reacquired the rights to the F.E.A.R. name from the first game's publisher Sierra. The title will now be known as F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin.
Vivendi Universal Games, the parent organization of Sierra, merged with Activision [in 2008] to become the largest third-party publisher in the world. VUG's crown jewel, of course, is Blizzard, the studio responsible for World of Warcraft, StarCraft II, and Diablo. Sierra's lineup was examined, and most of its games were recently dropped. Indeed, Sierra's future is in doubt.
F.E.A.R. 2 has also been given an official release date, and is now headed for a February 10, 2009 launch.
Sensing an opportunity, Warner Bros. and Monolith struck, and they are announcing today that they have acquired the F.E.A.R. name, meaning that the creator of F.E.A.R. once again has access to the name. - IGN The game will sell for the PlayStation 3, the Xbox 360 and the PC.
