THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2: Remake springs to life on consoles, PC soon

We’re huge fans of traditional light gun games here at Gaming Age, and it’s always nice to see a publisher digging into the arcade back catalog to remake classic games from the genre from time to time.  In this case, it’s Sega’s THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD 2 which is getting the remake treatment thanks to Forever Entertainment and developer Megapixel Studio.

While there’s no light gun hardware to be found for this enhanced iteration of the classic sequel (although VR is a good replacement usually), the on-rail horror-themed shooting action should still be a fun experience for console (P4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, Switch) and PC players when it arrives this Spring.

See some screens and a new announcement trailer below, and stay tuned for more.

Story:
In February 2000, a small city was suddenly overrun by hostile creatures. Two AMS agents, James Taylor and Gary Stewart, were sent to investigate. Upon arrival, they noticed that the situation resembled the Curien Mansion incident from 1998. Determined to uncover the source of the infestation, they began shooting their way through hordes of creatures.

  • Remastered music (with the classic soundtrack also available in the game)
  • Modern graphics
  • Gameplay faithful to the original game

  • Training Mode: Polish your skills in several available training scenarios to improve your abilities before deploying on a mission.
