‘Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water’ Remaster Has Sold 340,000 Units Worldwide
If you’re hoping for future entries in the Fatal Frame series, it would appear that things are headed in the right direction. Per Siliconera, the latest financial report for Koei Tecmo’s third quarter of the fiscal year states that the remake of Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water has now sold over 340,000 units worldwide since its release in December 2021.
Those sales cover the remaster’s release on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam. And while the company currently doesn’t have any plans for new entries, series producer Keisuke Kikuchi states that the response to the Maiden of Black Water remaster has been more positive than what was initially expected.
And despite the reluctance (so far) to develop new entries, Koei Tecmo is still in the process of forging ahead with a live-action movie adaptation based on the franchise. Christophe Gans (who directed the Silent Hill film adaptation) had mentioned being attached to the project back in February 2020.

Xbox owners feeling left out over SFB Games’ throwback Survival Horror title Crow Country coming to Steam and PlayStation? Never fear, as the developer has secured an Xbox Series release via the Microsoft Store, which will launch on May 9th as the other platforms. And to celebrate, Xbox owners also get a new trailer announcing Crow Country coming to the platform alongside the PlayStation 5 and PC.
In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the original PlayStation, Crow Country takes place in the year 1990. It’s been two years since the mysterious disappearance of Edward Crow and the abrupt closure of his theme park, the eponymous Crow Country. You are Mara Forest, and you’re searching for some answers from Crow. You’ll need to venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its Crow’s sudden disappearance.
Crow Country will see you immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister world evocative of late 90s pre-rendered graphics. You’ll need to make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of the amusement park.
Monsters aren’t your only problem, however. Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, requiring you to overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the truth. And for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere without having to battle against the inhabitants of the park, there’s the “Exploration Mode”, which switches off the combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploration.
Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. You can also check out the demo on Steam.
