Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water Arrives In Late October For Xbox Series X|S/Xbox One/PlayStation 5/PlayStation 4/Nintendo Switch/PC

Recently, there has been a surge of Wii-era releases coming to new systems. Just this past May, we witnessed the release of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD for Nintendo Switch and now a similar story can be told for Wii U’s Fatal Frame. Announced at a previous Nintendo Direct earlier in 2021, the game is receiving a modern reworking and is planned to ship for all major platforms later this fall.

While Nintendo Switch is presumed to be the likeliest platform to succeed in profitability since the original Fatal Frame shipped unique to the Wii U, Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is arriving to everything virtually – even including PlayStation 5 and  Xbox Series consoles. You can watch the release date trailer in the video below:

 “Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is an enhanced version of the 2014 Wii U release of the same name, allowing players on all platforms to enjoy this unique horror experience. Players will step into the shoes of Yuri Kozukata, Ren Hojo, and Miu Hinasaki as they venture up the eerie Mt. Hikami in hopes of finding those who have previously disappeared,” reads the trailer’s description.

“In order to overcome the malevolent spirits housed in the mountain’s waters, they will have to master the Camera Obscura – a unique camera that can deal damage to ghosts upon taking a photo. Each successful shot will cause a spirit to emit Spirit Fragments and if players are able to capture an image of the ghost and these mysterious fragments in the same frame, they will unleash a high-damage Fatal Frame attack.

“Upgrading the camera’s parts, such as equipping a stronger lens or changing out the film, allows more powerful images to be taken, giving players more protection as they venture further up the mountain. When a ghost has been defeated, the camera is able to perform the Glancing ability to uncover the ghost’s past – helping to uncover the truth behind the disappearances on the mountain.”

Other upcoming releases from Koei Tecmo includes a collaborative project with Square Enix, Stranger Of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin. Announced back in June this year, the title is expected to arrive sometime in 2022. You can read the full report by heading here.
