F.E.A.R. 2 Getting Reborn With New DLC Sept. 3

Fancy some new single-player levels for Monolith's paranormal shooter? Why, you're in luck.

Warner Bros. brings word today that a new DLC pack is coming to Monolith's spooky shooter F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin in early September. Unlike the previous two add-ons, this one will focus on single-player missions that "coincide with the events" in the core game, though there's also a small update to multiplayer included that sounds like it'll go out to everyone still playing F.E.A.R. 2. Here's the skinny on the add-on, straight from the press release, along with a handful of assets and a trailer.   

    
 
  • 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!
 
 
   
 
The pack hits on Sept. 3 on PS3, Xbox 360, and PC, though no price is currently listed. Anyone still playing F.E.A.R. 2 out there and excited about this add-on? I never got around to playing the game myself, but it's always nice to see developers extending a game experience with something besides more multiplayer maps.
