The producer also mentioned that he is working on “a wide range of projects” at various stages of production. At least a few of these games are set to be released before spring arrives.

“The outgoing 2020 was the year when normal things were no longer normal. I would like to once again comprehend the most important and beloved and create a game with a fresh look, “ – said Kikuchi.

In April 2020, Kikuchi admitted that he was interested in creating a new part and remasters of the previous ones, however, the publishing rights for Fatal Frame belong to Nintendo, and without its consent, the developers will not succeed.
