Thanks Blue's News
IGN reports that Warner Bros. and Monolith have regained the rights to the F.E.A.R. name, and have changed the title of "Project Origin" to F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin. This F.E.A.R. sequel previously could not use that title, as the F.E.A.R. name (but not the story) remained in the control of publisher Sierra. This puts an end to potential confusion caused by the F.E.A.R. sequel carrying a different title, though there is now the possibility of confusion over the game Sierra was creating with the title F.E.A.R. 2. WBIE and Monolith were able to secure the naming rights after the Activision Blizzard merger put the future of the Sierra brand in doubt, and while the article does not clarify the future of the project that carried the F.E.A.R. 2 name up to this point, there is an implication it may have been canceled. The article promises more details are coming soon and includes a video interview discussing the name change. They also nail down the release date for the game, which is February 10, 2009 for all platforms.
