A rating has yet to be determined though the consensus is that it will be rated "M" for Mature. Project Origin is a sequel to the first-person shooter game F.E.A.R.. It is not being titled F.E.A.R. 2 because Vivendi, a subsidiary of Universal Pictures, owns the name and copyright. The game however will share the F.E.A.R. universe setting. To settle the naming controversy, a contest was held by Monolith Productions. The three final contenders were Dead Echo, Project Origin and Dark Signal.
