WE ARE SO BACK! Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake has been announced for release in early 2026! Like the recent remasters, the game will be available on multiple platforms. The following description from Steam:
The full remake of the second installment in the FATAL FRAME (PROJECT ZERO) series, originally released in 2003, titled FATAL FRAME / PROJECT ZERO II: Crimson Butterfly. This Japanese-style horror adventure game follows twin sisters who become lost in an abandoned village haunted by vengeful spirits. Using the Camera Obscura—a device that can capture and seal away the impossible—they fight ghosts as the story unfolds. This title has undergone a complete overhaul, with improvements to everything from visuals and audio to the core gameplay systems and controls. The signature Camera Obscura mechanic, used to capture and fend off spirits, remains a key feature, now offering richer and more engaging gameplay in both exploration and combat. In addition, the new "Holding Hands with Mayu" mechanic adds a heartfelt touch, letting you experience the deep bond between the sisters like never before.
