Exciting news for fans of the zombie shooter genre as a remake of The House of the Dead 2 seems to be on the horizon, with an ESRB listing recently appearing for the Nintendo Switch version.
Originally released in arcades in 1998 by Sega, The House of the Dead 2 quickly became a favorite for its cheesy dialogue, voice acting, and thrilling light-gun gameplay. Following the successful remake of the first game in 2022, this sequel is now poised for a revival.
While the remake was announced by Forever Entertainment back in 2019, fans have patiently awaited its arrival as the developers focused on revamping the original title. Recent sightings of The House of the Dead 2: Remake on official game rating boards suggest that the project is moving forward.
The game’s ESRB summary describes it as a rail shooter set in Venice, Italy, where players must navigate the city and battle zombies and mutants using pistols, resulting in graphic depictions of violence and combat.
Stay tuned for further updates on The House of the Dead 2: Remake from Microids and Forever Entertainment, the studios involved in its development.
