F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin will get a new multiplayer map pack on May 21 called “Armored Front” for PS3 and Xbox 360.

It consists of two maps, Decoy and Conductor, as well as four character heads to swap out.

Details:

• Conductor Map: Push your way out of a train yard into the vast and open-ended junction station built around a turntable. EPAs will battle their way through the ground floor, as infantry can choose to either support from below or scale the heights of the station and engage in long-range combat.

• Decoy Map: Put your skill to the test in this full-scale training ground for Replica soldiers! Once a controlled arena for combat exercises, now it is under a full-blown assault for control between Replica and ATC. Watch out for ambushes, and don’t let the pop-up target dummies fool you!

• Character Heads: Four unique heads to customize your character.

The map pack will run you 540 MS Points ($5.99) and another pack is expected sometime this summer.

Monolith’s released screens for F.E.A.R. 2′s Toy Soldier DLC, announced yesterday.

Shacknews has them.

Expect it to hit in April for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360. We’re still not sure which one gets it first though.

According to this IGN piece, Monolith and Warner Bros has renamed Project Origin.

To cut a long story short, the F.E.A.R. brand ended up with Vivendi but Monolith was bought by Warner Bros. Now Acti-Bliz has formed, the name came back on the market, and Warner bought it. Project Origin’s name has, therefore, been replaced with the moniker it was alway supposed to have.

Clear? Good. More through the link.

Microsoft’s published its demo schedule for PAX 08, and there should be plenty there to keep you happy. Assuming you’re going to Seattle next week, obviously. And you’re into Marcus Fenix.

Gears 2 and a showing of Xbox Experience are both on show, neither of which made Leipzig last week, but there’s no sign of Halo Wars, Banjo, Viva 2 or Fable II.

Full thing through the link.

According to IGN, Monolith horror shooter Project Origin has moved from “fall” to Q1 2009.

“We’re going to release multi-SKUs,” said art lead Dave Matthews, speaking at Games Convention this week. “So PC, PS3, 360, Q1 next year.”

Monolith’s put out two new movies and a bunch of screens to its hyper-gory F.E.A.R sequel, right here. The new movies are here, titled “Penthouse and destruction environment trailer” and “Elite powered armour”. All looking good so far. It’s out in the fourth quarter.
