In 2006, F.E.A.R. creators Monolith Productions said that they would be soldiering on with a sequel to their paranormal shooter, despite loosing the rights to the franchise's name to Vivendi Games after being bought out by Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment. Since then, work on the game has proceeded in earnest, with the developer eliciting fans' help to redub the project Project Origin.
This week, Warner Bros. and Monolith are showing the game at the Leipzig Games Convention. As part of its presence there, the publisher has confirmed for GameSpot that Project Origin will commence haunting the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC in Q1 2009.
