FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE is scheduled for release in early 2026. This Japanese-style horror adventure game follows twin sisters lost in an abandoned village haunted by evil spirits. Using the Camera Obscura, they fight ghosts as the story unfolds.

FYI, this is not a new game, this is a Wii Up-port.

That version was never released in the US, back in the day. Only EU and JP.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Wow!!!!

Day one

Megaton

I played it on the Original Xbox and really loved it. I always looked forward to the Wii release, but it never came to America.

 

[adamsapple]

Looks like the Wii version with remastered character models, looks cleaner.

Please release on other platforms too.

[Sticks]

Horror genre is booming

The previous two remasters were multiplatform. It'd be very stupid to keep this one only on the Switch.

 

[GrayChild]

PC TOO:

Thanks Tecmo!

Love the PS2 version, but was not a fan of the Wii game. The original camera perspective worked far better than the one from 4 used on the Wii remake.

A damn shame we don't have simple remasters of the original 3 games on modern platforms. I wouldn't even mess with them outside of maybe higher resolution textures and a JPN VO track.

FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE is scheduled for release in early 2026. The game is currently in development for PlayStation®5, Nintendo Switch™ 2, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC via Steam®.

Glad to hear it's not exclusive, I'll be there on day 1.

 

[Gitaroo]

Should be 1-3, releasing 2 makes me think they might skip 1&3

This is a true remake, or something like ng2 black. char models got SSS, environment has revamped texture with normal map and soft shadow is added. Way beyond the scope of the remaster of 4. More technology advance than any entry in the franchise.

 

[adamsapple]

Phew.

Though they should really have this out this year.

 

[MagiusNecros]

Thanks Tecmo!

Cool!

 

[Zacfoldor]

Oh wow, not bad. I'll probably get this.

 

[Unknown?]

I loved 2. Hope they also remake 1 and 3.

 

[RedC]

Day 1 for me.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

I'm going to pray it's not a Keycard.

Megaton announcement. Crimson Butterfly is my favorite Fatal Frame and I'm so happy to see it resurfacing like this with a new coat of paint.

 

[TGO]

Cool was wondering why they Remaking 2 but it technically a Remaster

 

[Alexios]

Looks way better than the Wii version, not just higher resolution and some textures here and there for sure (go watch Dolphin footage of it or something). Character rendering at least seems completely redone. Didn't see much gameplay but overall motion/movement seemed less clunky too.

 

[Killer8]

Remake quality looks very high.

I'll go with PS5, it's the best platform for these games. Best visual quality plus can use the motion controls for the camera.

 

[SSfox]

Mad hype OMG. Day One on PS5 let's go

 

[Dacvak]

Never played these games, but my cereal friend loves them. I'll probably give this one a try. Do I need to have played the first game, or can I jump straight into this one?

You can. The story is not related to the first one.

Also, at least for me, this is the best way to start with the franchise.

 

[Kikorin]

Played on Wii, loved it, is scary, I'll never play it again.

 

[GrayChild]

So with Fatal Frame back into the spotlight, we still have one final franchise left to fully complete the classic horror franchise revival fiesta:

Sony, you dumbfucks, do it already!

 

[freemandos]

The only non-remake triple A survival horror games out of RE in this decade are still Callisto Protocol and Alan Wake 2, yay (well, "Silent Hill" F is coming) . And meanwhile the original game, you know, the praised original work with the classic semifixed camera, will be still only on ps2 and xbox unless you use emulator. And of course, they began with the easiest entry to remake.

 

[JDF]

I'm there. Loved the first two games, truly crept me out. Please make a remake of the 1st KT!

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Will buy it on PS5 and Switch like I did the last two.

 

[semiconscious]

for me, the scariest video game series. looking forward to it...

 

[DevilHunterX0]

Not buying until I've thoroughly checked the social media of everyone connected to it, developers, interns, voice actors, even the guy who once delivered pizza to their office.

I need to know their political and religious beliefs before I give them my hard-earned money. I don't want to risk supporting someone who stands against everything I remotely support or believe in.

Can't be too safe these days.

Technically, a remaster of a remake.
