Tomonobu Itagaki is currently busy working on the Wii U exclusive, Devil’s Third, yet he had time to respond to some requests about Fatal Frame: The Black Haired Shrine Maiden (Fatal Frame V). Although he isn’t directly involved with the development, he did have some encouraging words to share about a potential western release:
“Hey guys, I strongly believe that Kikuchi Keisuke will release the Fatal Frame V in America, in many countries. He and me have same philosophy from Tecmo days. That’s what I can say for now. I want you guys to read between the lines.
Anyway I will play this game.”
Now this is in no way a confirmation that the west will see a release of Fatal Frame V, but it is kind of exciting to think that the possibility is still there.
