More about the rift between Vivendi and Monolith after the jump

It seemed like a foregone conclusion that a sequel would come skittering out from the darkness to make another indelible impression on the gaming masses. What none of us really expected was the rift between then publisher Vivendi and Monolith over the franchise. So what happened? Well Vivendi still owns the F.E.A.R. name and plans to bring another game using that brand with a "2" at the end. Meanwhile, Monolith and Warner Brothers are bringing out a sequel within the universe made popular by the first F.E.A.R. title. Because they don't own the famous brand, they have to create a new identity for their established universe.
