If Resident Evil 9 wasn’t enough horror for you, then why not revisit a classic reborn in Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake? The game has been remade from the ground up, and it should be even scarier than it was back in 2002.
As if that wasn’t enticing enough, numerous gameplay features have been amended or added, too; from enhanced Camera Obscura battles to entire new side stories and areas to explore, it’s the most complete version of Fatal Frame 2—and you won’t have to wait long to play it.
If you’re interested and want to know when you can revisit the haunted village of Minakami, then you’re in the right place, as Insider Gaming has all of the release details for you down below.
