Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake Announced

Many regard 2003’s Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly as the best – and scariest – entry in the cult favorite Fatal Frame series, and players new and old can experience its scares thanks to a new remake coming next year.

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is a modern overhaul of the terrifying journey of twin sisters Mio and Mayu Amakura, who explore a lost village, encountering supernatural horrors with only a mystical camera to defend themselves.  It’s unclear what the exact improvements the remake will have beyond the obvious graphical facelift; we do know the game is being developed by Ninja Gaiden and Nioh masterminds, Team Ninja. 

Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake launches in early 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC.
