Project Origin Becomes F.E.A.R. 2, Date Revealed

IGN reports that Warner Bros. and Monolith have regained the rights to the
F.E.A.R. name, and have changed the title of Project Origin to
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin. This F.E.A.R. sequel previously could not use
that title, as the F.E.A.R. name (but not the story) remained in the control of
publisher Sierra. This puts an end to potential confusion caused by the F.E.A.R.
sequel carrying a different title. WBIE and Monolith were able to secure the
naming rights after the Activision Blizzard merger put the future of the Sierra
brand in doubt. The article promises more details are coming soon and includes a
video interview discussing the name change. They also nail down the release date
for the game, which is February 10, 2009 for all platforms. Thanks Gamer's Hell.
