Following the success of the last remake, Forever Entertainment has announced that The House of the Dead 2: Remake will launch sometime in Spring 2025.

The House of the Dead 2: Remake will launch for all major consoles and the PC sometime in Spring 2025. No launch date has been set, but that information will be announced in the future. To have an idea of what to expect, check out the announcement trailer:

The remake will feature an improved version of the original game, including its multiple endings. It will also include the classic soundtrack and a remasted version. Among the game modes will be the main campaign, Boss Mode, and Traning Mode.

Released for the arcade in 1998, The House of the Dead 2 was a horror-themed light gun shooter that took gamers on a terrifying adventure. A follow-up to the hit arcade game, it featured the same setup but in a different setting. It was highly praised by critics while also seeing a launch on the SEGA Dreamcast and PC in 2001.

The story follows AMS agents James Taylor and Gary Stewart, who are dispatched to a city to locate Agent G. Upon arrival, they discover the city overrun by the undead and Agent G critically wounded. Armed with the information he provides and their weapons, the agents must battle their way to the city’s heart to stop Caleb Goldman from unleashing the Emperor, a bio-organic super weapon.
