After a lengthy naming contest and three finalists chosen, what is the name of Monolith Productions’ F.E.A.R. sequel? Fans can rejoice, the "official" F.E.A.R. sequel will be called Project Origin.
As noted here, the two expansion packs for F.E.A.R. are not from the game’s original developer, Monolith Productions. Monolith is currently working on a "true" sequel to F.E.A.R., dubbed Project Origin, with the game’s original characters, design and story. But Sierra, on the other hand, is busy cranking out a bunch of expansion packs to carry the F.E.A.R. name till, well, their sequel comes around or Project Origin debuts.
Samantha Ryan, senior vice president of production and development for Warner Bros., said, "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. 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."
Troy Skinner, producer for Monolith Productions, "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."
