Forever Entertainment and MegaPixel Studio are bringing back the beloved 1998 horror rail shooter, The House of the Dead 2, in a fully modernized remake. This title, a unique alternative to the popular Resident Evil franchise of the time, offers a fresh take on classic zombie arcade action for modern gamers.
Originally released on Sega arcade cabinets, The House of the Dead 2 is renowned for its on-rails shooting mechanics and intensely gory zombie hordes. A landmark FPS horror game in its era, it's considered a genre icon. While previously ported to various consoles (Sega Dreamcast, original Xbox, Nintendo Wii), this remake promises substantial improvements.
The recently released announcement trailer showcases the game's updated graphics and remastered soundtrack. Players once again assume the role of a secret agent battling a massive zombie outbreak. The remake expands upon the original with additional environments and the option to play solo or with a partner in co-op mode.
The House of the Dead 2: Remake is poised to deliver a nostalgic yet modernized arcade rail shooter experience, blending high-octane music, explosive action, and combo counters with contemporary visuals and an improved user interface.
The revival of classic horror titles continues, following successful remakes of Resident Evil and the Clock Tower remaster. Zombie horror fans should eagerly anticipate The House of the Dead 2: Remake and other upcoming retro gaming revivals.
