Project Zero
Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water finally has a release date set on PC and console, with Koei Tecmo to announce that the game will hit the market on October 28, 2021 simultaneously on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X | S and Nintendo Switch.To show the game in more detail there is also this new overview trailer which in four minutes explains practically everything there is to know about this title, an improved and expanded version of the original Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water released in 2014 exclusively on Nintendo Wii U.
Players are called to step into the shoes of Yuri Kozukata, Ren Hojo and Mii Hinasaki in their haunting adventure at Mount Hikami, in the hope of finding some previously missing people in this area, characterized by a dark atmosphere and protagonist of terrifying legends.
In order to fight the disturbing presences that haunt the place, the protagonists can use the Camera Obscura, a particular camera that can inflict damage on ghosts by taking photos, but you need to know how to better frame the subjects in order to get the fragments of the spirit and launch Project Zero attacks.
This also introduces an upgrade system of the camera and a sort of "combat system" based on the use of the instrument in question, which can be enhanced to be able to face even the most powerful otherworldly threats.
In the new version of Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water also features a new Photo mode, new costumes and more, as well as a complete overhaul of the original's graphics to make it more up-to-date. For some time, Koei Tecmo has talked about Project Zero as an intellectual property of great value that can be exploited in the future and for the moment there is this re-edition coming, but it is not excluded that it may be followed by other innovations in the future. >

Project Zero Maiden of Black Water storyPlayers will step into the shoes of Yuri Kozukata, Ren Hojo, and Miu Hinasaki as they venture up the eerie Mt. Hikami in the hopes of finding those that have previously disappeared. To help them overcome the malevolent spirits housed in the mountain’s waters, they will have to master the Camera Obscura. This is 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.
New Photo ModeNew to this enhanced version is a brand-new Photo Mode. In this mode, players can use any character or any ghost from their adventure, position them on a background of their choice, and add a variety of effects (from lens type, frame choice, focus, etc) to make the perfect scary photo. Costumes and accessories have also been added including the ‘Punk Ensemble’, ‘Cutesy Goth Ensemble (Black)’, ‘Swimsuit (Blue)’, and the ‘Triathlon Suit’ for Yuri; the ‘Miku Hinasaki Outfit (The Tormented)’, ‘Cutesy Goth Ensemble (White)’, ‘Swimsuit (Yellow)’, and the ‘Swimsuit (Pink)’ for Miu; and the ‘Groom’s Outfit’ for Ren.
Project Zero: Maiden of Black Water will launch on October 28, 2021. Available on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows PC via Steam.
