Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, which first debuted on Wii U, will soon be appearing on Switch. The original lineup of costumes has been altered a bit, and while we won’t be seeing the Zero Suit Samus or Zelda costumes, there are new looks for Yuri, Miu and Ren.

Here’s the full lineup:

When Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water originally released on Switch, it came with a couple of special costumes. Players could dress up as both Zero Suit Samus and Princess Zelda.

With Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water now planned for Switch, some have been wondering if these Nintendo costumes would be returning. Unfortunately, they won’t be. Koei Tecmo confirms the news directly on its website.

After being on hiatus for several years, Fatal Frame is finally back in the spotlight. Maiden of Black Water was the last entry in the series having first launched on Wii U in 2014. Koei Tecmo is now bringing back that game by re-releasing it on modern platforms, including Switch.

Japanese magazine Famitsu spoke with producer Keisuke Kikuchi this week and at one point, the two discussed the future of Fatal Frame. Kikuchi was asked if the series could start up again off the back of a good response Maiden of Black Water. He responded favorably, and indicated that the team hopes it’ll lead to a new game.

Recent trailers for the new Switch version of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water have suggested that the game will be digital-only in the west. We’ve followed up with Koei Tecmo, and can confirm that will indeed be the case. A physical version is not planned for North America or Europe.

While that may come as a disappointment, there is some good news. Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water will have a physical release in Japan and Asia. It also looks like English will be supported – similar to Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection, which was digital-only in the west, but had physical versions in other regions.

Play-Asia is taking pre-orders for the physical release of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water on Switch here. The title launches on October 28.

Koei Tecmo today announced a final release date for the Switch version of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water. The horror-adventure title will be available on October 28, the company confirmed.

Here’s some additional information and a new trailer:

Limited Run Game has been receiving a bunch of attention as of late. The company has been giving digital titles a retail release that never made it out physically in small runs. However, their efforts have mainly been limited to PlayStation platforms thus far.

Some interesting news did surface on Limited Run Games’ Twitter account recently that could very well appeal to some Nintendo fans. In an interaction with a gamer on Twitter, it was mentioned that they are “trying to work towards a Fatal Frame 5 release” – Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, in other words.

The tweet is as follows:


Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water did get a physical version in Europe, but North American players weren’t offered the same opportunity. If Limited Run Games does somehow manage to work with Nintendo on this, that’d be a huge win for the company as well as for fans of the series.
