Fatal Frame: Mask Of The Lunar Eclipse Launches March 9, 2023

Earlier this year, Koei Tecmo revealed that the previously Japan-exclusive Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse will finally be making its way to the west for the first time ever. Well, fans of the franchise can finally mark their calendars for this fresh release!

Koei Tecmo America has confirmed that the game will launch on 9 March 2023 for Nintendo Switch. As reported previously, this modern release of Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse will feature enhanced visuals and other fresh bonuses!

In addition to this, the company also shared a new Overview Trailer which you can check out below:

FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is a frightening mystery that takes place on a remote island in southern Japan. A decade after five young girls mysteriously disappeared at an island festival, their memories of the events that transpired during their disappearance remain fuzzy. But when two of the girls are found dead days apart ten years after the initial vanishing, the remaining three teenagers head back to the island — a haunted place possessed by ghosts and spirits — to solve the mystery of their friends’ deaths, while also unlocking the secrets to the memories they left behind.

Alongside the standard version of the game, KOEI TECMO America also revealed a special FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse Digital Deluxe Edition. Available digitally, this unique edition of the game includes the Rogetsu Isle Dinner Party Costume Set, and a digital art book (original soundtrack included).

In addition, anyone who purchases the digital copy of the game by March 22, 2023 will have the ability to download the early purchase bonus: Ruka Exclusive Costume “Marie Rose Outfit” from the Dead or Alive series. Fans who preorder the game by the release date will also receive a variety of costumes, including the Ruka Limited Edition Costume “Fox Mask” (white/red), the Misaki Limited Edition Costume “Fox Mask” (black/red), the Choshiro Limited Edition Costume “Fox Mask” (black/blue), and the Ruka Misaki, and Choshiro Limited Edition Costume “Spirit Stone Flashlight Hat”. There will even be a special save bonus costume for fans who have already played FATAL FRAME: Maiden of Black Water. Play FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse on the same device that has saved data from FATAL FRAME: Maiden of Black Water saved to receive the Save Data Bonus, the “Camera Obscura Hat”.
