WBIE and
Monolith Launch F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin

Highly Anticipated Sequel to Critically
Acclaimed F.E.A.R. Ushers in New Dimension of Paranormal Horror

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, developed by Monolith
Productions and published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, ships to
retail stores in North America today for Xbox 360, PLAYSTATION 3 and Games for
Windows. F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is the sequel to F.E.A.R., the critically
acclaimed supernatural first-person shooter, and ushers in a new dimension of
paranormal horror, cinematic combat and highly kinetic action.

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is a blend of advanced
visceral combat mixed with seamless game pacing set inside a sinister and
paranormal universe that begins shortly before the ending of F.E.A.R. 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. Tension
builds as 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.

As players move throughout the smoldering remains
of Auburn in search of Alma, they must investigate the crumbling remains of
schools, hospitals and alleyways as they are stalked by otherworldly creatures
and enemies. Gamers will need to use everything at their disposal, including
all-new weapons and superhuman abilities, to fight the supernatural forces
arrayed against them and keep the entire city from succumbing to Alma.

In addition to a gripping single-player campaign,
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin supports up to 16 players for action-packed
multiplayer match-ups. Multiplayer options include nine maps, four modes and a
powerful mix of weapons, grenades and high tech machinery, including the Elite
Powered Armor (EPA) mech suits that players can take control of in both
multiplayer and single-player action.

F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin is rated “M” for
Mature and is available for Xbox 360 and PLAYSTATION 3 for the suggested retail
price of $59.99. It is also available for Games for Windows at retail outlets,
as well as via Steam and Direct2Drive for the suggested retail price of $49.99.
