Fatal Frame: Maiden Of Black Water Launches October 28 For Switch

Another Wii U release is making its way to the Switch very soon, and this one is bound to send chills down your spine!

Publisher Koei Tecmo announced that Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water will launch digitally on October 28. A Digital Deluxe Edition was also revealed, and it will come with a digital art book and several costumes based on previous characters in the Fatal Frame series (Mio Amakura and Rei Kurosawa outfits for Yuri, Mayu Amakura and two Miku Hinasaki outfits for Miu, and Kei Amakura outfit for Ren).

Moreover, if you’re a fan of Koei Tecmo’s Atelier series, you might want to pre-order this game or get it within the first two weeks of its release, as a special costume based on Ryza will be included as an early purchase bonus!

In the meantime, you can check out the latest trailer for the game 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. 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.

New to this enhanced version is a brand-new Photo Mode where players can use any character or ghost from their adventure, position them on a background of their choice, while adding a variety of effects (lens type, frame choice, focus, etc.) to make the perfect scary photo. New costumes and accessories have also been added including Yuri’s “Punk Ensemble,” “Cutesy Goth Ensemble (Black),” “Swimsuit (Blue),” and the “Triathlon Suit,” as well as Miu’s “Miku Hinasaki Outfit (The Tormented),” “Cutesy Goth Ensemble (White),” “Swimsuit (Yellow),” and “Swimsuit (Pink),” along with Ren’s “Groom’s Outfit.”
