As was reported last June, Monolith Productions sent word to the gaming community that they were looking for a new name for the upcoming sequel to their F.E.A.R. FPS for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC. We've just picked up word that as of today, the developer have tabulated the votes for the winning entry: Project Origin.

As previously reported, Project Origin is to be published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. Monolith Producer Troy Skinner expressed his team's happiness regarding the new name:

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.

Project Origin will take off where the F.E.A.R.: Extraction Point expansion leaves off. Players will find themselves racing against the clock in this supernatural suspense-themed FPS as they attempt to prevent Alma, a powerful psychic, from wreaking havoc on a major American City. Drop back in case we pick up more details for the sequel.

A rift between Monolith Productions and Vivendi SA is a video game developer; formerly known as Vivendi Universal">Vivendi almost cost fans a sequel to the FPS title F.E.A.R (PC, PS3, Xbox 360). Turns out, fans will be getting two sequels to the title: one from Vivendi (who still owns the F.E.A.R. title and plans to release F.E.A.R. 2) and another title from Monolith set within the F.E.A.R. universe.

Since Vivendi still owns the brand name, Monolith can't use it for their upcoming sequel. With a bit of quick thinking, Monolith has come up with a cool way to get around the whole name issue. They've announced a contest where gamers can send in their suggestions for what the new F.E.A.R. game should be called.

The contest will run until June 22, when submissions will be narrowed down to three finalists. These finalists will get an all-expense-paid trip to meet the game's dev team at Monolith and get a grand tour of the company's facilities. All three finalists will also get their names and likenesses included in the game.

Once the finalists are chosen, the ball will once again be in the fans' court. On July 23, voting will be open to the public to let the fans decide what name to go with. The voting will continue until June 27. For more details, click on the read link below.
