For the first time since 2012, we’re getting a new Silent Hill, Fatal Frame and Resident Evil within the same six months

We’re reliving the Japanese horror renaissance from the early ’00s, minus all those years of console exclusivity. During PlayStation’s Japan-focused State of Play, Koei Tecmo announced that Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake launches on March 12, 2026.

That’s excellent news for the folks who spent 1999-2005 jumping between numbered Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and Fatal Frame games, long before all three series took breaks with spin-offs or went quiet. 2012 marks the last year the horror trio released something more significant than a remaster within the same six months—the year Resident Evil 6, Silent Hill: Downpour, and the Wii-exclusive Fatal Frame 2 remake launched.

Fatal Frame saw a couple of remasters in recent years, but those weren’t quite as extensive as what Koei shared today. And yes, you read that correctly. This is the second Fatal Frame 2 remake, though folks in North America never had the chance to play.
