The House of the Dead 2: Remake – A Classic Returns in Spring 2025
Get ready for a blast from the past! Forever Entertainment and MegaPixel Studio are bringing the iconic 1998 arcade rail shooter, The House of the Dead 2, to modern platforms with a complete remake. Launching Spring 2025 on all major consoles and PC, this updated version promises enhanced visuals, new environments, and exciting gameplay additions.
The original House of the Dead 2, a standout in the late 90s gaming landscape, offered a unique alternative to the then-popular Resident Evil franchise. Its on-rails shooting mechanics and over-the-top zombie carnage cemented its place as a genre classic. While previously ported to various consoles, this remake delivers a truly modernized experience.
The announcement trailer showcases the game's revamped graphics and remastered soundtrack. Players will once again step into the shoes of a secret agent battling hordes of undead, but now with expanded environments to explore. The remake boasts both single-player and co-op modes, alongside multiple gameplay options including Classic Campaign, Boss Mode, branching levels, and multiple endings.
The House of the Dead 2: Remake will be available on Nintendo Switch, PC (GOG and Steam), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Expect high-octane action, gory thrills, combo counters, and a retro feel enhanced by modern visuals and an improved HUD.
The revival of The House of the Dead 2 follows a trend of resurrected classic horror titles, joining the ranks of recent Resident Evil remakes and the Clock Tower remaster. Zombie horror fans should definitely keep an eye out for further updates.
