Fatal Frame II patch hits other platforms
Koei Tecmo released Version 1.03.04 for Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly on other platforms on April 16, and Nintendo Switch 2 players are expected to get the update later. The developer described the release as a platform-wide maintenance patch with details to follow for the Switch 2 timing. (nintendolife.com)
Koei Tecmo pushed Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake to Version 1.03.04 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam on April 14, while the Nintendo Switch 2 update is still listed as “coming soon.” (koeitecmoamerica.com) The publisher’s update page says the live patch on those three platforms fixes an HDR cutscene bug, adds save-data recovery for cases where “Extensive Protection” could not be obtained, restores Mayu’s Charm 8 in Nightmare difficulty, and includes stability fixes and minor bug fixes. (koeitecmoamerica.com) For Nintendo Switch 2, Koei Tecmo posted a shorter Version 1.03.04 changelog: Mayu’s Charm 8 in Nightmare difficulty, stability fixes, and other minor bug fixes. The company did not give a release date beyond saying the update is scheduled to arrive soon. (koeitecmoamerica.com) That leaves Switch 2 owners one patch behind on fixes that already landed elsewhere, including the HDR correction and the save-data recovery change. Nintendo Life reported the same platform split on April 16 after Koei Tecmo published the notes. (koeitecmoamerica.com) (nintendolife.com) The timing matters because this remake only launched on March 12, 2026, so Koei Tecmo is still in its first month of post-release fixes. The official site shows updates on March 16, March 27, and now April 14. (koeitecmoamerica.com 1) (koeitecmoamerica.com 2) Those earlier patches were not minor housekeeping. Version 1.03.03 fixed a Chapter Seven bug that blocked players from reobtaining the Camera Obscura, plus Chapter Four progression problems involving Mayu and a side door. (koeitecmoamerica.com) Version 1.03.02 also rebalanced the game by increasing film item placements, lowering the point cost for Herbal Medicine, boosting Fatal Frame shot damage, and reducing how often several wraiths became aggravated. (koeitecmoamerica.com) Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake is Team Ninja and Koei Tecmo’s full remake of the 2003 horror game, built around twin sisters Mio and Mayu Amakura and the Camera Obscura, a weapon that captures hostile spirits. Koei Tecmo says the remake is available on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. (koeitecmoamerica.com 1) (koeitecmoamerica.com 2) For now, the practical takeaway is simple: Version 1.03.04 is already live on three platforms, and Switch 2 players are waiting on Koei Tecmo to put a date on the same maintenance pass.
