Besides Fatal Frame IV, another horror title gamers have been interested in seeing brought to the states is Fragile. The title was published by Namco in Japan, but there haven’t been any murmurs of a release in North America. However, XSEED Games is “looking into” bringing Fragile over.

“Appreciate the heads-up on Fragile, it’s a title that’s been requested many times before so we’re looking into it. To everyone that’s written in to us, we will expect everyone to get their pre-order in the week that we announce it if we should get lucky enough to work on such a great looking title.” – Ken, XSEED Games

Thanks for the news tip, Jake.
