All those fans who bought the remaster of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water have been rewarded with another entry in the series. This time, it’s the formerly Japan-only Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, which is coming to the Nintendo Switch next year! This is also the first time that the game will be seeing an official English release.
Announced during the latest Nintendo Direct, Mask of the Lunar Eclipse will arrive on the Switch in “early 2023“. No word on if the game will be coming to Steam, as was the case with Maiden of Black Water.
Originally released for the Nintendo Wii back in 2008, Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is set on the fictional Rougetsu Island. Suspected serial killer Yō Haibara kidnaps five girls from their rooms in a sanatorium. One of whom is Ruka Minazuki. Eight years after their rescue, and still suffering from amnesia, Ruka and the two of the surviving girls, Misaki Asō and Madoka Tsukimori, return to the island to discover the truth about their pasts. As with previous entries in the Fatal Frame series, the gameplay once again revolves around using the Camera Obscura to defeat ghosts while exploring the island.
Lifetime sales of the original Mask of the Lunar Eclipse total 75,000 units, making it the best-selling entry in the series.
