Fatal Frame / Project Zero Maiden of Black Water is coming to the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam on October 28th.
The game was announced a few months ago in June and according to the series producer Keisuke Kikuchi in an interview with Famitsu, the response has been amazing.
Famitsu asked Kikuchi about the response to the reveal
It’s been a while since the original game was released in 2014, so we were honestly a little apprehensive about making any announcements. However, we are delighted to have received an even more positive response than we anticipated.
In Europe, North America, and even Asia, where we are re-releasing a game for the first time, there has been a lot of excitement for it. It was great that Japanese horror games can be so well received even outside of Japan.
About Fatal Frame / Project Zero Maiden of Black Water
Experience all of the horror from the original PROJECT ZERO: MAIDEN OF BLACK WATER with new remastered visuals, new costumes and photo mode features.
The main adventure consists of three interconnected stories which lead the player to uncover the horrifying truth behind a string of recent tragic deaths taking place in a forest with an infamous history.
