6. Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake

The original Fatal Frame hit shelves back in 2001 and became a sensation. A sequel, Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly followed and was even better than the original. And now it’s being remade with modern consoles (and PC) in mind… Remade by none other than Team Ninja, the people behind the infamously hard Nioh games. This remake of Fatal Frame 2 won’t likely be as hard though, as new gameplay mechanics will let players get the upper hand.

The camera protagonist Mio uses to fight wraiths in the game (the “camera obscura”) has a new “fatal frame” shot which can deal massive damage to the evil spirits, as seen in the gameplay video below. Also, a new feature lets you use the camera to locate hidden paths (and also lost objects) making exploring the sinister Minakami village more interesting. Plus, a new gameplay mechanic lets Mio and her sister hold hands to recover their health, and have a higher chance of surviving when things get hairy in this survival horror game. All in all, this Fatal Frame 2 remake has the potential to be one of the year’s top games when it arrives next month no doubt.

Release date: March 12, 2026. Available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Nintendo Switch 2.
