KOEI TECMO America is excited to announce that their remastered classic has arrived all around the globe. The original game, released exclusively in Japan in 2008 for the Nintendo Wii, has been one of KOEI TECMO’s most requested remasters for over a decade, and this marks the first time Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is available to play, not only in North America, but across multiple consoles and PC.

Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse takes place a decade after five girls mysteriously disappeared at a moonlight festival on Rogetsu Isle, an island in southern Japan. While all of the girls were eventually rescued, their memories were lost, with only the faint remembrance of a single melody and a seemingly possessed masked woman dancing in the moonlight. Now, ten years later, with still no memory of the events surrounding their disappearances, two of the five girls have died, and the remaining three teenagers -- Ruka Minazuki, Misaki Aso and Madoka Tsukimori -- head back to the eerie island to solve the mystery of their friends’ deaths, while also unlocking the mystery of the memories left behind.

The remastered game also features an all-new Photo Mode, along with new and altered costumes, and enhanced graphics including the improved rendering of shadows and light, delivering a more immersive and frightening experience. In addition, in-game movies and character models have been brushed-up to deliver a story that shines, both narratively and aesthetically as the three remaining girls attempt to rediscover their past before becoming victims once again.

Alongside the standard version of the game, KOEI TECMO America also released a special Digital Deluxe Edition. Available digitally, this unique edition of the game includes the Rogetsu Isle Dinner Party Costume Set, and a digital art book with original soundtrack included.

In addition, anyone who purchases the digital copy of the game by March 22, 2023 will have the ability to download the early purchase bonus: Ruka Exclusive Costume "Marie Rose Outfit" from the Dead or Alive series. There is also a special save bonus costume for fans who have already played Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water. If you play the Mask of the Lunar Eclipse on the same device that has saved data from Maiden of Black Water, you'll receive the Camera Obscura Hat as a bonus.

The acclaimed horror game is now available digitally for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation4, PlayStation5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Check out our comparator for the beast deals on Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse and guarantee your early purchase special bonus.
