The television series “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power,” costing approximately $1 billion (with $250 million for rights acquisition) hasn’t yet returned its investment. The show has stirred controversy among fans, experiencing a significant drop in viewership during Season 2, despite being renewed for a third season and potentially completing its five-season plan. In contrast to this series, other productions like “The Wheel of Time” were terminated after three seasons, even though there were more books to adapt, and “Carnival Row” ended after only two seasons, failing to make much impact despite high expectations.

The classic horror game from the past, known as “Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly,” is due for a comeback in 2026 as “Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly Remake.” However, no specific launch date has been announced yet. Interestingly, the developers of this remake are Team Ninja and publishers Koei Tecmo, who have previously produced popular series like Nioh, Dead or Alive, modern Ninja Gaiden games, and most recently the PS5 exclusive “Rise of Ronin.” It’s surprising because they did not develop the original Fatal Frame II; that was created by Tecmo. It’s not entirely clear how Team Ninja came to work on this remake, as they have no history with the series, don’t usually create horror games, and typically do not handle remakes.
