While downloads of previous purchases will still be available, players won't be able to buy any new games after March 27.įinally, the fifth main game in the series, Maiden of Black Water was released in 2014 in Japan and 2015 worldwide for the Wii U. That being said, the eShop closes later this month, so fans who are on the fence about getting it should keep this in mind. The game was released on the 3DS, and while fans might be able to track down a hard copy of the game, it'll be easier for many to just get a download from the eShop. If fans want to play the spinoff game, Spirit Camera, they'll have to act quickly.

It's also worth noting that Fatal Frame games' stories are completely independent, so if fans couldn't get their hands on the first three games, they'll have no problem with this latest release.

Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is the fourth game in the series and, as mentioned, has finally released in the West on virtually every platform, so fans can jump right into this one. While there was a remake of the second game for the Nintendo Wii in 2012, it is perhaps even more difficult to find than the original because it was only released in Japan, and the Wii Shop channel has stopped service. The prior was released for both PlayStation 2 and Xbox, while the latter was only released on the PlayStation 2, making it even less accessible. The second and third games, Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly and Fatal Frame III: The Tormented, are similarly elusive.
