We've mirrored the latest developers diary for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin over at GP Downloads.

In F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, a Special Forces squad is on a routine mission when the city of Auburn is rocked by a supernatural explosion. Alma, a girl with immense power and a thirst for revenge, has unleashed her wrath upon the city and thrown it into chaos. The squad must combat enemy forces and the supernatural as they struggle to find a way to stop Alma and uncover the mysterious forces arrayed against them before it’s too late.

Project Origin swoops F.E.A.R. brand

NEWS by Dan Cheer 10 Sep 2008, 9:33 am

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced today the new name - F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin for the sequel to the hit videogame F.E.A.R..

The game is being developed for the Xbox 360, Windows PC and PS3 and despite rumours that the game would ship this year, it will instead be published in February 2009.

“The name addition builds upon the strong game recognition, which we will extend as we move forward reinventing the F.E.A.R. brand,” said Samantha Ryan, Senior Vice President, Production and Development, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. “F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin will continue the legacy of the original F.E.A.R. game with story and combat while adding new twists, gameplay and graphics to expand the players’ experience.”

Monolith isn't exactly a stranger to the survival horror genre, or indeed the horror genre full stop.

Earlier this year, they released Condemned 2: Bloodshot, which assaulted our senses with some seriously R18 violence. This time around, they're pitching Project Origin at the same massive fanbase created by its predecessor, F.E.A.R. (First Encounter Assault Recon).

Vivendi owns the rights to the name F.E.A.R., so in June last year Monolith created the "Name Your Fear" initiative in which fans were able to suggest prospective titles for the upcoming sequel. Project Origin stuck, and a little over a year on the game is finally approaching a finished state. The only indication of the slightly raw nature of the code came by means of several framerate issues, but that's to be expected with preview software.
