Warner
Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Monolith Studios announced the
upcoming release of their third downloadable content pack for their
first-person horror shooter, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin.
Entitled Reborn, the
new pack contains four brand new single player campaign levels and a
new, free multiplayer game mode.
The
four new levels will take you through the chaos of Alma's aftermath
through a set of new eyes – those of Replica
Soldier Foxtrot813. As you begin the mission as part of an orbital
Powered Armor drop to reinforce their squad, the ruined city of
Auburn emanates supernatural events and familiar voices, beckoning
Foxtrot813 to go against orders from Replica command. But, as with
most things in the F.E.A.R.
universe, not everything is as it seems.
Upon
the release of F.E.A.R.
2: Reborn, playerswill
also see the release of a new, free Slow-Mo Deathmatch multiplayer
game mode. This free title update will be available to all owners of a retail copy of F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin with access to the multiplayer modes and will allow you to obtain a slow-mo
power-up to slow down enemies in multiplayer deathmatch, giving you a
distinct short-term advantage. Also, the longer you hold on to the
power-up, the more objective points you collect, so you also get a
nice boost to your overall score. The only problem is that when
you've got the power-up, you'll be a major target for the other
players.
F.E.A.R.
2: Reborn will
be launching for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, for download via the
Xbox Live Marketplace and Playstation Network, on September 3rd,
but players who can't wait to get their hands on the campaign will be
able to download a robust demo of the pack on August 27th.
The PC version will be releasing at a currently unannounced later
date.
Warner
and Monolith will also be releasing some new console themes and
related extras on August 13th.
A brand new F.E.A.R.
2: Project Origin premium
theme and picture pack will be available for Xbox 360, priced at 240
Microsoft Points and 80 Microsoft Points respectively, while a new
theme for Playstation 3 will be available for $1.99.
F.E.A.R.
2: Reborn is the third DLC pack
available for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin,
following the Toy Soldiers
map pack which launched on April 16th,
and the Armored Front
map pack which released on May 21st.
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin and
its related downloadable content are rated M for Mature.
