Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is getting a remaster on Nintendo Switch. Here’s everything we know about our next ghost hunt.

Originally released on Nintendo Wii in 2008, Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is the fourth entry in the Fatal Frame / Project Zero survival horror series. The game was never released outside of Japan, so this will be the first time western players get to enjoy this frightening spookfest.

As with other entries in the series, Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse will be a horror game where the player dodges ghosts and keep them at bay by using a magic camera called the Obscura. It’s a scary experience, especially if you’re terrified of ghost stories.
