KOEI Tecmo announced that FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly Remake will be released on March 12th, 2026. To celebrate this announcement, the team shared a new trailer that you can find below. This new in-engine trailer shows off some of the game’s locations and characters.
FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE is a full remake of the second game in the famous horror series. This Japanese horror classic, loved by fans all over the world, tells the story of twin sisters Mio and Mayu Amakura. While visiting a stream from their childhood, Mio remembers the past, but Mayu is pulled away by a strange red butterfly. Following it, she ends up in a mysterious village that doesn’t seem to exist.
In this dark village where night never ends, the twin sisters are chased by angry spirits tied to a mysterious ritual. After being separated, Mio must search for Mayu and find a way to escape. Her only weapon is the Camera Obscura, a special camera that can trap and defeat ghosts. But Mio doesn’t realize that her actions are repeating the events of the past. This will eventually take her deep into the village, where she will uncover the chilling truth about the “forbidden ritual that must never be seen.”
FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE will fully upgrade the original game with better graphics, improved sound, and smoother gameplay. The controls have also been updated to feel more modern and easy to use. The Camera Obscura, the series’ most important tool, will now give players an even more exciting experience – both when exploring the village and when battling ghosts.
