‘Fatal Frame’ Producer on the Franchise’s Return: It’s Up to Nintendo
With all the talk of Resident Evil and Silent Hill these days, one survival horror series that was kind of overshadowed by a lot of people was Fatal Frame. Lucky for us, Silent Hill director Christophe Gans is looking to try and bring a film adaptation to life. But what about those who want an actual game?
Well, according to Keisuke Kikuchi, the producer of Fatal Frame, he’s all for a revival of the series, but it’s all contingent on Nintendo (which now owns the publishing rights for the franchise).
Speaking to Nintendo Everything, Kikuchi talked about the possibility of reviving the franchise, but made it clear that “there is a distance between [his] feelings and ambitions and the feasibility of such projects.”
This isn’t the first time that Kikuchi mentioned his desire to bring Fatal Frame back. Last year, he expressed his desire to bring the series to the Switch.
At the moment, Kikuchi is working with the Gust brand, which would make it difficult to secure production lines and team members. In the short-term, it’s not realistic, but “I’ve never really given up the idea.”
If you were wondering just where Resonance: A Plague Tale Legacy was all this time, you won’t have to wait much longer. Publisher Focus Entertainment and developer Asobo Studio have announced via a new trailer that the game will launch for the Xbox Series, Day One with Xbox Game Pass, as well as PlayStation 5 and Steam on August 27.
Pre-orders are open now, and include the Heritage Pack DLC and an in-game digital artbook.
Set 15 years before A Plague Tale: Requiem, play as Sophia, a fierce young plunderer, on the run and determined to uncover the secrets of her past. Dive into an original story blending combat, myth and fate with a brand new take in the universe of A Plague Tale.
Sophia’s journey leads to the Minotaur’ Island, where she faces deadly trials, navigates treacherous trails, solves puzzles, all while fighting and staying one step ahead of the army chasing her. But the true challenge awaits, as the terrifying creature hidden behind the myth will soon resonate with her.
Followed by many enemies, each drawn to the Island to reclaim a mysterious treasure, you must navigate a treacherous maze. Rely on your agility, tricks and sharp reflexes to outsmart enemies, perfect your parries, and unleash powerful strikes to survive deadly encounters. Players will shift between the Middle Age of Sophia and ancient Minoan times, where echoes of the past shape the battles of the present.
