FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE Announced

Among the big announcements for third-party titles at the Nintendo Direct on 12 September 2025, we saw many participants.

The remake of the second installment of the survival horror series also known as Project Zero.

The Koei Tecmo and Team Ninja teams also dropped the announcement trailer. Promising a chilling experience as well as being the first Remake in the series. Following the story of the twin sisters Mio and Mayu Amakura through the Minakami village. It’s confirmed for an early 2026 launch on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.

 

What We Know So Far About the FATAL FRAME II Remake

So this time we’re getting a full-blown Remake of the second chapter in the Project Zero series. Whereas in recent years, the Koei Tecmo team has released Remasters of the 4th (Mask of the Lunar Eclipse) and 5th (Maiden of Black Water) installments. The Second Chapter itself saw an enhanced port of Project Zero 2 on the Wii back in 2011.

Otherwise, it seems that the story will remain mostly unchanged. This means the Amakura twin sisters are back as the protagonists, with a story that explores the tragedy that struck the village of Minakami. And of course, the return of the famous Camera Obscura at the center of the gameplay. It remains to be seen about the endings, whether there will be variations or new additional endings. Just as the Wii version added 2 new ones.

 

In Conclusion

Incredible news for big fans of the series. A series that, by the way, has seen good success and interest precisely with the recent remasters in recent years. With the first new Remake of the celebrated second chapter which will also happen to fall in the year of the series’ 25th Anniversary.

So there’s hope for many to finally see a global launch of the first or third game. And you, have you ever played FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly? Let us know in the comments!
