‘Fatal Frame: Maiden Of Black Water’ Headed To Wii U eShop This October!

Briefly: It’s been nearly 10 years since us Westerners have had the opportunity to (officially) play a Fatal Frame title. Back at E3, Nintendo revealed that the drought was set to end with the US release of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water this Fall, and now we know just when we’ll be able to get our Camera Obscura on.

Nintendo today revealed the game’s North American release date, as well as details on just how you’ll be able to get your hands on the title.

Just in time for Halloween, Maiden of Black Water will exclusively launch on the Wii U eShop on October 22nd. That’s right collector’s, you won’t be able to pick up the game physically, so just be glad that we get to play it at all.

Interestingly enough, players can download the free-to-start game and play the prologue, chapter 1 and most of chapter 2 for free. If you like it, the full version of the game can be purchased as DLC directly from the Nintendo eShop or via the in-game menu. It’ll cost $62.49 in my country (Canada), and $49.99 in the USA.

How excited are you to play through this one? Did you import Fatal Frame 4 when it didn’t come to our region? Sound out below!
