Forever Entertainment and MegaPixel Studio are reviving the iconic 1998 horror rail shooter, The House of the Dead 2. Originally a unique alternative to the then-popular Resident Evil franchise, this remake promises a fresh experience for modern gamers. The original game, released on Sega arcade cabinets, delivered a thrilling on-rails shooting experience with hordes of gruesome zombies. Now, The House of the Dead 2: Remake offers a complete overhaul.

The recently released announcement trailer showcases the game's modernized visuals and remastered soundtrack. Players once again step into the shoes of a secret agent battling a zombie outbreak, but this time with enhanced graphics and new environments to explore. Gameplay options are expanded to include single-player and co-op modes, plus additional modes such as Classic Campaign and Boss Mode, branching pathways, and multiple endings.

Platforms and Release Date

The House of the Dead 2: Remake is slated for release on Nintendo Switch, PC (via GOG and Steam), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The high-octane action, bloody effects, and combo counters aim for an authentic retro feel, seamlessly blended with modern visuals and an improved heads-up display (HUD). Prepare for the zombie onslaught when the game launches in Spring 2025.

A Wave of Retro Horror Revivals

The House of the Dead 2: Remake joins a growing trend of resurrected classic horror titles, following successful remakes of Resident Evil games and the Clock Tower remaster. Fans of zombie horror and retro gaming should eagerly anticipate this and other upcoming revivals.
