RUMOR - Fatal Frame IV hitting North America, sans 'Fatal Frame' name?

I have been going nuts with anticipation for Fatal Frame IV. That’s only made worse by the fact that this game has absolutely no confirmed North American release date. We’ve only heard whispers that the game would indeed get published, and we know for sure that XSeed isn’t behind it. If this latest rumor is to be believed, the game is indeed heading our way…but it’s not going to be called Fatal Frame.

Why on earth would you want to drop the Fatal Frame name? I thought it was a title that automatically brought positive vibes with it. According to this rumor, Fatal Frame IV is going to come to North America, but the Fatal Frame name is being dropped. No word on who is bringing it here, or why the name would be lost…but I have one guess. The only reason I could see for dropping the name would be in order to reboot the franchise. The problem with that is…did the franchise really need a reboot? Thanks to Seras for the heads up.
