It’s Halloween, everyone’s entitled to one good scare. Well, it isn’t yet, but it will be come August. And Koei Tecmo is already building the hype for the witching hour with the announcement of a release date for the enhanced edition ofFatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water, which will launch on PlayStation, PC, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch on October 28.
Maiden of Black Wateris the fifth mainline entry in the ghoulishFatal Frame/Project Zeroseries and was originallyreleased on Wii U back in 2014. The spooky story concerns three protagonists: young psychic Yuri Kozautaka, author and parapsychologist Ren Hojo, and Miu Hinasaki, daughter of Fatal Frame star Miku Hinasaki, who travel into the Hikami mountains to investigate sightings of ghostly shrine maidens and their connection to the malevolent spirit known as “Black Water.”
Much like its predecessors,Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Watertasks steel-nerved players with investigating creepy remote locales and confronting the spirits within — warding off evil attackers in first-person with the mysterious artifact known as the Camera Obscura. This new release will featureMaiden of Black Waterin its entirety, along with itsDead or Alive-themed DLC expansion, an all-new photo diorama mode, and a selection of alternate skins/outfits for the game’s protagonists.
