Monolith has released details bout the
just-revealed Reborn DLC
for
F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, confirming this will be coming to Windows
as well as consoles, albeit "at a later date." The DLC will come to consoles on
September 3, adding four maps and more to the horror-themed shooter sequel, and
it will be accompanied by a patch adding a new free multiplayer "Slow-Mo
Deathmatch" mode. They also promise a "robust game demo," though it's not clear
if this will come to the PC as well. Here's the deal:
Beginning September
3, F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin fans will be able to download four all-new
single-player levels in the exclusive F.E.A.R. 2: Reborn DLC campaign from
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment and Monolith Studios, for a brand new
gameplay experience on the PlayStation®Network for the PLAYSTATION®3 computer
entertainment system, the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from
Microsoft, and Windows™ PC. F.E.A.R. 2: Reborn lets players experience four new
single-player missions that coincide with the events in F.E.A.R. 2: Project
Origin, and a simultaneous automatic title-update provides a free Slow-Mo
Deathmatch multiplayer mode for use with F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin multiplayer
content. A robust game demo of F.E.A.R. 2 Reborn will be released on August 27.
· Four All New Levels: Face the chaos of Alma’s aftermath from an entirely new
point of view: that of Replica Soldier Foxtrot813. As gamers 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. Be careful, not everything
is as it seems…
· Slow-Mo Deathmatch: Through a free title update, gamers obtain a slow-mo
powerup to slow down enemies in multiplayer deathmatch, thus gaining a distinct
short-term advantage. The longer players hold onto the slow-mo powerup, the more
objective points are accumulated, contributing to the overall score. Watch out
though, whoever has slow-mo ability becomes a bigger target to everyone else!
Additionally, launching on August 13 is a brand new F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin
premium theme for 240 Microsoft Points and picture pack for 80 Microsoft Points
for Xbox 360®, as well as a new theme for PLAYSTATION®3 for $1.99. F.E.A.R. 2:
Reborn is the third robust DLC pack available for F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin,
and will become available for Windows ™ PC at a later date. The “Toy Soldiers”
map pack launched April 16, with the “Armored Front” map pack following soon
after on May 21.
