We first learned about the Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake during the September 2025 Nintendo Direct, and now a new, extended TGS 2025 trailer with more insights into changes and updates appeared. During it, Director Makoto Shibata acts as a narrator explaining the decisions made during development.
The video begins with Shibata talking about some of the more obvious changes. These are the improved audio and visual elements compared to the original game. He noted special processing is used to ensure proper details are showcased on character’s clothing, and sound is layered to help with otherworldly effects. There is 7.1.4 audio support in this entry.
As for gameplay, Shibata went into how the Camera Obscura works in the remake. He noted the core elements remain the same. However, he said there will be new focus and zoom filters to help with perspective and dealing damage to ghosts. There will also be more places to explore and find spirits.
Finally, Shibata referenced a new action that can be used involving the twin sisters Mio and Mayu. At certain points, you can choose to hold hands with her while exploring. He noted this was something the team wanted to do in the original, but couldn’t, and brought it up as an option with the remake.
Here’s the full Fatal Frame 2: Crimson Butterfly Remake TGS 2025 trailer with Director Makoto Shibata.
