Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake hits modern consoles and PC in 2026

A new remake of Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly will be released in early 2026.

Revealed yesterday, the game is currently in development and will be released on the PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S, and PC (via Steam). An announcement trailer can be seen here. This will be the second remake of Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly. Back in 2012, a remake titled Project Zero 2: Wii Edition was available on the Nintendo Wii in Japan, Europe, New Zealand, and Australia.

A synopsis for the game reads:

In FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE, twin sisters Mio and Mayu Amakura find themselves lost in a village that has vanished from the map. Fighting to unravel the mysteries of the supernatural phenomena surrounding them in a village of never-ending night, the twins are hunted by vengeful spirits as they attempt to escape a mysterious ritual. Separated from her sister, Mio attempts to find Mayu and escape, armed only with the Camera Obscura, a device that captures and seals away the impossible. Unbeknownst to her, Mio’s actions will involuntarily reproduce the past and lead her to the deepest reaches of the village, where she will uncover the truth behind the “forbidden ritual that must never be witnessed.”

Featuring breath-taking horror effects and atmosphere alongside intense battles, players will feel the unease and fear of exploring the abandoned buildings shrouded in darkness as the story of a sister’s bond unfolds, guided by a crimson butterfly.
