F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin Demo Announced

PC, Xbox 360, PS3

Warner Bros. has announced that the single player demo for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin will be available for the Xbox 360, PC and PS3 beginning January 23 in Australia and New Zealand. You'll need to head to the consoles' respective marketplaces to grab the download, while PC owners can get it at www.whatisfear.com. The full game will ship to retailers in Australia on February 13th.

The demo offers a glimpse of the action, terror and suspense of the full retail version of the game. Players will maneuver through bloodstained corridors and hallways from several locations in the game, as they combat through various parts of the city of Auburn, which now lays in ruin after the catastrophic explosion that rocked the finale of F.E.A.R.

Project Origin is the sequel to the 2005 game F.E.A.R., and blends advanced visceral combat mixed with seamless game pacing set inside a sinister and paranormal universe that begins shortly before the ending of the first title. 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. 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.
