FATAL FRAME 2: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE Overview

FATAL FRAME 2: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE is a modern reimagining of the second installment of the FATAL FRAME series that was originally released in 2003. Set to release on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 sometime in Early 2026, it will feature a complete overhaul of the original PlayStation 2 game, improving everything from visuals, audio, controls, and core gameplay systems such as the signature Camera Obscura combat mechanic while still being faithful to its source. It will also add a new, never-before-seen feature called Holding Hands with Mayu, which allows players to experience the twin’s sisterly bond in-game.

This thrilling horror adventure follows twin sisters Mio and Mayu Amakura as they find themselves lost in an abandoned village that was supposedly wiped off from the map, after Mayu is led astray by a mysterious crimson butterfly. Mio aims to escape the village together, but their very presence and actions unknowingly revive the horrors of the past and the reason for the village’s downfall, caused by a forbidden ritual.

Players will take on the role of Mio, the younger twin sister, who possesses the ability to see spirits. Armed with the ghost-exorcising Camera Obscura, Mio will explore different areas of the village in search of a way out, and while doing so, discover the truth of the horrifying incident that transpired years ago.

Gameplay primarily revolves around exploring a haunted village to find a way out while confronting vengeful ghosts, solving puzzles, and managing limited resources. Players control Mio Amakura, armed with the Camera Obscura, a weapon that fends off hostile spirits using special exorcising film and lenses.

The game is mostly played from a third-person perspective, switching to first-person only during combat with the Camera Obscura. Combat has been reworked, introducing new focus and zoom filters that alter player perspective during encounters. Additionally, a new hand-holding mechanic emphasizes the bond between the twin protagonists.
