Every shooter's favorite scary, adolescent girl, Alma, has earned a relaunched website for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin.  There you'll find all the requisites like a newsletter sign-up, press releases, a link to the community website, as well as a suitably frightening video.  On January 22 (that's today, Thursday) they're supposed to add the demo, but it isn't there just yet.  Maybe check back during regular business hours later today.

 

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment is pleased to unveil the relaunch of www.whatisfear.com, the official F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin website. The sequel to the critically-acclaimed supernatural first-person shooter F.E.A.R., F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin ushers in a new dimension of paranormal horror, cinematic combat and highly kinetic action. The newly updated website gives visitors an exclusive look at an Armacham "Intel Briefing" video and is packed with all the sensitive documents and classified files surrounding the upcoming game, as well as a cache of historical files and media that bridge that gap between the original game and F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin. 

 

Among the newly added content, users will find the latest developer news on F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, as well as briefs from the community at large.  Players can also investigate Alma's sordid past in a section called "Alma's Reality," and read character dossiers on the F.E.A.R. 2 team page.
