Are you itching to get more news about a possible Western release for Fatal Frame IV? Maybe now would be the time to panic...

Fatal Frame IV: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse is a joint project between Nintendo, Tecmo and Grasshopper Manufacture (and Suda51). The fourth installment in the Japanese horror franchise - known as Project Zero in Europe - sees three girls investigating a seemingly empty mansion which was instrumental to their kidnap and imprisonment during a mysterious event which took place there 10 years ago.

It was rumoured that a localised demo of Fatal Frame IV (which is due to be released in Japan next Thursday) would appear at E3, but sadly it never materialised. Worryingly, Nintendo of America aren't even aware of the product, according to GoNintendo. At least this explains why the title wasn't at E3, but what does this mean for the future of the series in the West?
