Fatal Frame producer Keisuke Kikuchi has acknowledged that fans have been demanding a new game for quite some time and said that although he would love to continue the franchise, it has to make business sense for Koei Tecmo.
In an interview with Noisy Pixel, Kikuchi was asked for an update on the series, to which he said:

PB = PB || {};

.setTargeting('pos', 'P').setTargeting('content_detail', '0').setTargeting('kw', 'in-article').setTargeting('coppa', '0').setTargeting('site', 'playstationlifestyle');
googletag.enableServices();
googletag.display('ros_300x250_p_slot4_1573418338');

if (admiralCookie === null || admiralCookie['val'] === 'false') {
googletag.pubads().refresh([PB.gptStandAlone['ros_300x250_p_slot4_1573418338']]);
}

});
