For those of you who were gaming around the time of the PS2 and the first Xbox you will remember a game called Fatal Frame, or for those in Europe Project Zero. It was a nifty little game about the supernatural where you played a character who could sense ghosts and used a special camera to… rid herself of them. Well they are bringing Fatal Frame back, this time for the Wii U.
Known in Japan as Zero: Nuregarasu no Miko, roughly translating to Fatal Frame: The Black Haired Shrine Maiden, the game will launch in Japan on Sept. 27. No word on a release date for other regions yet but keep your hopes high.
In this new series installment, players take control of Kozukata Yuuri, a girl who can see spirits of those taken to the other side. Yuuri also discovers she has the ability to bring the spirits back into the real world by reaching Mount Hikamiyama better known as the mountain of death.
As is standard in the series, players will find and capture ghosts using an in-game camera. In this Wii U iteration, players can use their Wii U GamePad to control the camera. Check out the trailer below to see how that works.
The studio states that this will be the biggest installment of the Fatal Frame/Project Zero series yet and we can only hope that unlike some of the series it reaches us here in the EU and NA regions. There is also talk of a Fatal Frame live action movie which could be amazing.
Here is the trailer which looks gorgeous;
