Tag: Fatal Frame: The Black Haired Shrine Maiden

Briefly: Fatal Frame fans, have you given up hope for The Black Haired Shrine Maiden ever coming to North America?

Maybe you shouldn’t have, as Devil’s Third creator Tomonobu Itagaki has certainly just raised my excitement for the possibility of the title coming to the west. Here’s what he said on his FaceBook page:

“Hey guys, I strongly believe that Kikuchi Keisuke will release the Fatal Frame V in America, in many countries. He and me have same philosophy from Tecmo days. That’s what I can say for now. I want you guys to read between the lines. Anyway I will play this game.”

Of course, he could be totally wrong, but I’ll hold onto any shred of hope that I’ll get to play another game in this amazing series.

Have you been a fan of the Fatal Frame series thus far? Did you get a chance to play the Wii version? Sound out below!

Briefly: After the series’ continuation was revealed back in April, Nintendo and Tecmo Koei have finally, finally revealed the next instalment in the celebrated Fatal Frame franchise.

Apparently, neither company is aware that Nintendo consoles are only for children (right?), because this game looks terrifying. The game is called Zero: Nuregarasu no Miko, which roughly translates to Fatal Frame: The Black Haired Shrine Maiden.

The game sounds like it could be Fatal Frame‘s most terrifying iteration yet, as players will use the gamepad to control the series’ staple Camera Obscura.

Take a look at the first trailer below, and let us know what you think! The game will launch in Japan on September 27th. While a North American release date has not been revealed, we sure hope it’s announced soon.
