FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE - PS5

FATAL FRAME II: Crimson Butterfly REMAKE stands as the definitive reimagining of one of the most terrifying games ever created, returning the legendary 2003 Japanese horror classic to modern audiences with a complete ground-up rebuild of its graphics, sound, controls, and gameplay systems. Developed by the legendary Team Ninja studio under Koei Tecmo, this full remake transforms the beloved PlayStation 2 horror masterpiece into a breathtaking next-generation nightmare that preserves the soul-crushing dread of the original while introducing modern mechanics, expanded storytelling, and visceral new ways to interact with the spirit world.

The story follows twin sisters Mio and Mayu Amakura, who wander into the abandoned and cursed Minakami Village—a place frozen in time and infested with vengeful wraiths that cannot be escaped. Armed only with the Camera Obscura—a supernatural camera capable of capturing and sealing away spirits—the sisters must unravel the village's dark secrets, confront the catastrophic ritual known as the Crimson Sacrifice, and find a way to escape before the village consumes them forever.

With every element meticulously rebuilt for current-generation hardware, Team Ninja has shifted from the original's fixed-camera adventure design to a fluid, third-person action perspective that places you directly in Mio's terrified shoes—making Minakami Village more immersive, more beautiful, and infinitely more terrifying than ever before.

The Sisters of Minakami Village

Mio Amakura – The Protagonist You Control

Voice: Yui Kondo

• As the game's primary playable character, Mio navigates the horrors of Minakami Village armed with the Camera Obscura while desperately searching for a way to escape

• Her emotional vulnerability and deep love for Mayu form the beating heart of one of gaming's most haunting stories

Mayu Amakura – The Sister You Must Protect

• Possesses a powerful supernatural sense that draws her deeper into the village when spirits take hold of her

• Brand-new Hand-Holding mechanic: Players can hold Mayu's hand to restore Health and Spirit Power, experiencing the sisters' bond in a deeply personal way—but when Mayu is in danger, she may fall and require rescue
