Japan only Project Zero 4 rumoured to finally get a Western release
A reliable leaker seems to be hinting that the one Project Zero game that never left Japan will see a Western re-release.
Last year, Koei Tecmo released a remaster of Nintendo Wii U exclusive Project Zero: Maiden Of Black Water for modern platforms.
We’re still not sure who was for asking for that but, if a new rumour is to be believed, it must’ve done well enough for Koei Tecmo to re-release another Project Zero game.
Admittedly this one makes a bit more sense, as the game in question is Project Zero: Mask Of The Lunar Eclipse, a 2008 Nintendo Wii exclusive that never released outside of Japan.
What makes it interesting is that Grasshopper Manufacture was a co-developer alongside Tecmo and Nintendo, with No More Heroes creator Suda51 serving as a writer and director.

It was then shared to Reddit and is presumably a reference to the game’s title – Mask Of The Lunar Eclipse – and the fact that the series involves ghosts.
Since Nintendo was the game’s publisher and this rumour comes just ahead of a Nintendo Direct, it’s speculated that the re-release/remaster will be one of its announcements.
The Maiden Of Black Water remaster was also announced through a Nintendo Direct, specifically the one for E3 2021, so it would make sense.
However, it may not be a Nintendo Switch exclusive and could see a release on PlayStation and Xbox platforms. Again, just like Maiden Of Black Water.
For anyone unfamiliar with the series,
