The remake of Sega’s beloved arcade light gun shooter sequel, The House of the Dead 2, now officially has a release date after being initially announced back in January for the Nintendo Switch and PC by publisher Forever Entertainment.

There no new media or a fresh trailer though for the MegaPixel Studio-developed remake, so you’ll need to be satisfied with the news of a August 7th, 2025 release on the eShop, Steam and also GoG and the $24.99 price point.
