IGN reports that horror-shooter Project Origin will now be known as F.E.A.R.2: Project Origin, adding to the wearing out of ellipses on keyboards worldwide.

While Monolith had created the original FEAR, the sequel was not going to use the moniker due to Vivendi owning the title, though Monolith held the rights to its characters and settings. Things changed as Monolith and Warner Bros. have purchased the “FEAR” brand name from Activision Blizzard.

The new conglomerate had previously disclosed that it intended to retain only a couple of Vivendi properties, which has left Ghostbusters and other projects in limbo.

The sequel is due out on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on February 10, 2009.
