KOEI Tecmo announced today that Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse will be coming to PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam sometime in early 2023.
Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse first debuted for Wii exclusively in Japan on July 31, 2008 and was never released outside of Japan. With the remastered version now coming to current and last-gen consoles, players can look forward to enhanced graphics, including the improved rendering of shadows and light, delivering a more immersive and frightening experience and an all-new Photo Mode, and new and altered costumes.
FATAL FRAME: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse takes place a decade after five girls mysteriously disappeared at a festival on Rōgetsu Isle, an island in southern Japan. While all of the girls were eventually rescued, their memories were lost, with only the faint remembrance of a single melody and a seemingly possessed masked woman dancing in the moonlight. Now, ten years later, with still no memory of the events surrounding their disappearance, two of the five girls have died — discovered with covered faces and found in a tragic, crying pose. The remaining three girls now head off to the eerie island to solve the mystery of their friends’ death, while also unlocking the mystery of the memories left behind.
As the girls explore the western-style mansions and abandoned hospitals on Rōgetsu Isle, they will rely on the moonlight and a faint flashlight to search for clues. The story progresses by discovering relics like old newspaper articles and notes that help the girls unravel the island’s secret past. While exploring, the girls will also be confronted by a series of spirits. They will need to use a FATAL FRAME franchise classic, the Camera Obscura, to repel vengeful ghosts, sealing away their power by photographing them. Throughout the game, the girls will need to equip stronger lenses and change out different films in order to capture the most powerful spirits, while also using the camera to capture “things that cannot be seen” to help them find the evidence they need to remember their haunting past.
