It could be a good year for Fatal Frame<\/strong> fans with co-creator and producer Keisuke Kikuchi recently expressing interest in doing something<\/em> to celebrate the series’ 20th anniversary. Yes, that’s right, as of this December the survival horror series will have been around for 20 years.<\/p>\n

Here’s what Kikuchi had to say in an interview with Famitsu<\/a>, as translated by Gematsu:<\/p>\n

\n

“2021 is…the 20th anniversary of the Fatal Frame<\/em> series, so I\u2019d like to celebrate it in some way if possible.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Last April, Kikuchi mentioned how he still had high hopes for the series’ return<\/a>. Ultimately, though, t’s up to Nintendo, as Koei Tecmo only develops it:<\/p>\n

\n

“even though I have these hopes, this is a series that Nintendo publishes for us and I only handle the development. So even if I were to say I want to make another game, that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that\u2019s what will happen.<\/em>“<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

At the time, he was also asked about the chances of remasters, and again, it’s Nintendo’s decision to make:<\/p>\n

\n

As for Fatal Frame 2 and 4, Nintendo handles the publishing rights, so we don\u2019t exactly have a say in that matter. Another factor would be is that I\u2019m basically overseeing the Gust brand at this moment, and to secure production lines and team members, in the short-term it would also be very difficult, but in the long run I\u2019ve never really given up the idea. So in the short-term it\u2019s not exactly realistic at the moment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

The Fatal Frame series began life on the PS2 in December 2001, and the most recent entry – Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water<\/a><\/strong> landed on the Wii U in 2014.<\/p>\n
