‘Fatal Frame’ Series Producer Says a New Sequel Depends on The Sales of ‘Maiden of Black Water’

Published

With Koei Tecmo recently trademarking Fatal Frame‘s Japanese series’ logo, one would think (and hope) that things would be picking up for a potential revival of the series. According to series producer Keisuke Kikuchi, that now largely rests on the performance of the upcoming re-release of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water.

In a new interview with Japanese magazine Famitsu (and thanks to Japanese website Ryokutya for snagging the quote), Kikuchi was asked about the possibility of a new Fatal Frame entry after Maiden of Black Water‘s release. Kikuchi responded saying, “I hope so. This time [Maiden of Black Water] is offered as a 20th anniversary project. I would like to take this opportunity to play with many players and connect it to the next work.”

Kikuchi also mentioned that Koei Tecmo added more platforms for this port because he wants more players to try out the game. Upon its initial release for the Wii U back in 2014, Maiden of Black Water had split critics, from its graphic and gameplay to its cast. We’ll have to wait and see what the re-evaluation seven years later looks like.

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water will arrive on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam on October 28.

New “Splendor” Tome Available Now for ‘Dead by Daylight’ [Trailer]

Published

Dead by Daylight fans have another Tome launch today in Tome 19: SPLENDOR, bringing with it a new content update, the game’s next Modifier, a new Tome packed with unlockable rewards, and a major update to the in-game store. Accompanying the update will be several Outfit Collections, which will be arriving over the next couple of weeks.

After giving fans a taste of what’s to come with the time-limited Lights Out Modifier, Behaviour Interactive has introduced a new one with Chaos Shuffle, offering a completely different challenge. In the Chaos Shuffle Modifier, players will be jumping into Trials with randomly selected Perks from all of Dead by Daylight’s available Perks. However, instead of relying on tactics they’ve grown accustomed to, players will now have to contend and strategize with the Perks they’re dealt at the beginning of the match. Chaos Shuffle will be out soon.

Along with the new Modifier is the new Event Tome with SPLENDOR, packed with new challenges, memories, and classy rewards to Dead by Daylight, inspired by all things gold and silk. Players will unlock memories that offer a glimpse into The Artist and Zarina Kassir’s past, with new outfits for The Trickster, Nea Karlsson, Mikaela Reid, The Skull Merchant, and many more characters across the Free and Premium Tracks. Players who purchase the Rift Pass instantly unlock a gold-adorned Outfit for The Trapper, and those who complete the track are rewarded with a brutal Ultra Rare Outfit for The Doctor.

As for the in-game store, with over 30 Chapters packed with content and outfits for our numerous Survivors and Killers, the in-game store has been given a complete visual overhaul. The new interface allow players to easily find items that are on sale, cosmetics from a specific collection, as well as purchase bundles that contain multiple items at a discounted price.

Finally, there are the new Outfit Collections that are coming to Dead by Daylight in the coming weeks.

  • The Forgotten Myth Collection brings a horrifying Visceral Legendary Outfit for The Huntress, complete with its own unique Mori.
  • Metamorphosis manifests in different ways. The returning Chrysalis Collection reimagines both Killer and Survivor with butterfly or moth-inspired looks.
  • The return of the Visions of the Future Collection offers new futuristic looks for several Survivors.
  • A new addition to the Nicolas Cage Essentials Collection proves the actor needs no stylist to look cool.
  • The Forgotten Garden Collection spreads botanical brutality to two Killers.
  • The Cats & Dogs Collection brings more cozy sweaters to the game inspired by our furry friends.

Dead by Daylight is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
