https://gonintendo.com/stories/374752-2021-is-the-fatal-frame-franchise-s-20th-anniversary-and-the-ser

Fatal Frame producer wants to celebrate the franchise's 20th anniversary next year in some way.

Please be Fatal Frame 6 and not just a port of 5...

How do you guys even play these games? They're, like, strung across multiple different weird platforms and never got accessible ports besides one Wii version of 2 as far as I can tell I'm guessing it's one of those series where you can jump in with any entry? But ... even then I'd prefer to start with the original and welp...

Also in the database it looks like there's only 4 "brand new" games? Fatal Frame, Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly (along with 2 other editions), Fatal Frame III: The Tormented, and Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water. Am I missing something?

As Rol says, there's not really much overarching story across the multiple games, they're fairly self-contained, so each can be played in isolation.

And the one you missed was the fourth main entry, Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, which was only officially released in Japan but which got an excellent English homebrew patch with which I played it on my brother's modded Wii.

But yeah, the release patterns are a nightmare, even the Wii remake of 2 wasn't released in America and the Wii U game was digital only there too.
