Monolith Wants You to Name F.E.A.R. Sequel
by Rainier on June 5, 2007 @ 1:42 a.m. PDT | Filed under News
After Vivendi released its 2005 horror/FPS FEAR, it had a falling out with developer Monolith, who was acquired by Warner Bros. in mid-development. A sequel was announced by both parties, but since Vivendi owns the franchise rights, Monolith's product obviously cannot be called F.E.A.R. 2. It has therefore started a contest to get the community involved in finding a suitable name. The "Name the sequel to F.E.A.R." contest is now open until June 22, after which judges will select 3 titles and put them online for gamers to vote for their favorite.
