Some Web site called IGN, along with Monolith and Warner Bros., areholding a contestto see what poor, unpaid schmuck can come up with the best name for the upcomingF.E.A.R.sequel. Let’s back up for a second — yes, there’s going to be a sequel toF.E.A.R.coming to the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC; please attempt to hide your surprise. We just bought this carpet.

Submissions will be accepted until June 22nd, when three finalists will be sent to Monolith to meet with the development team. At that point, the three finalists will have their name and likeness included in the game, hopefully as character who will  get their limbs torn or shot off … by me.

Once the finalists have been chosen, public voting will open between the 23rd and 27th, letting mouth-breathing fanboys choose the final name. The contest’s official site offers some naming and branding tips including my favorite:

You mean like, uh,F.E.A.R.?

The opening area of the Whisper mission, in a small grove.

The Divide in the Cosmodrome, where the Guardian was resurrected.

A holofoil Ribbontail, as seen in collections.

The Phoneutria Fera hand cannon, inspired by the Season of the Haunted armor set. It has a unique, galactic glow.

Three Fuses appear in a match of Apex Legends' Wild Card mode.

Mad Maggie opens a supply bin and an item with a symbol indicating infinite ammo appears.

Legends slide through a zipline in King’s Canyon in Apex Legends.
