14 DAY TRIAL // Koei Tecmo is bringing the 2014 Wii U version of Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water to PC and modern consoles. An enhanced release of the game is planned for October 28, so fans of the horror genre will be able to pick this one up on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/Sm, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
The thrilling Japanese horror-adventure title brings a brand-new Photo Mode that lets players use any character or any ghost from their adventure, position them on a background of their choice, and add a wide range of effects. Also, new costumes and accessories have been added including the Punk Ensemble, Cutesy Goth Ensemble, Swimsuit, Triathlon Suit, Miku Hinasaki Outfit, and the Groom's Outfit.
In Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water, players step into the shoes of Yuri Kozukata, Ren Hojo, and Miu Hinasaki as they venture up the strange Mt. Hikami in the hopes of finding those that have previously disappeared.
To be successful, 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 can capture an image of the ghost and these mysterious fragments in the same frame, they will unleash a high-damage Fatal Frame attack.
The game lets players upgrade camera parts to be able to take more powerful images, thus giving players more protection as they venture further up the mountain. When a ghost has been defeated, the camera can perform the Glancing ability to uncover the ghost’s past – helping to uncover the truth behind the disappearances on the mountain.
The Project Zero franchise celebrates its 20th anniversary this year, with the original game launching in Japan back in 2001. In celebration of Project Zero's 20-year milestone, Koei Tecmo revealed a special Digital Deluxe Edition for Project Zero: Maiden of the Black Water that comes packed with a copy of the game, a digital artbook, and six costumes inspired by previous characters in the series.
These anniversary costumes include; the Mio Amakura and Rei Kurosawa outfits for Yuri, the Mayu Amakura and two Miku Hinasaki outfits for Miu, and the Kei Amakura outfit for Ren. Also, players who pre-order Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water, or purchase the game within the first two weeks of launch, will be entitled to a special Ryza costume.
