This new overview trailer for the game gives players more info on what to expect in terms of the game’s story, as well as gameplay.

In case you’re unfamiliar, Maiden of Black Water was originally released for the Wii U back in 2015. The game is the fifth entry in the Fatal Frame series, and it is also the latest.

The game’s premise is described as:

“Players will step into the shoes of Yuri Kozukata, Ren Hojo, and Miu Hinasaki as they venture up the eerie Mt. Hikami in hopes of finding those who have previously disappeared. In order to overcome the malevolent spirits housed in the mountain’s waters, they will have to master the Camera Obscura – a unique camera that can deal damage to ghosts upon taking a photo. Each successful shot will cause a spirit to emit Spirit Fragments and if players are able to capture an image of the ghost and these mysterious fragments in the same frame, they will unleash a high-damage Fatal Frame attack. Upgrading the camera’s parts, such as equipping a stronger lens or changing out the film, allows more powerful images to be taken, giving players more protection as they venture further up the mountain. When a ghost has been defeated, the camera is able to perform the Glancing ability to uncover the ghost’s past – helping to uncover the truth behind the disappearances on the mountain.”

Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water releases for the Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Series X/S on October 28, 2021.
