In 2022 keerde de klassieke arcadegame House of the Dead terug met een remake. Ondanks dat die game nu niet echt de beste commentaren bij de release kreeg, is ontwikkelaar MegaPixel Studio wel van plan om ook deeltje 2 van een modern jasje te voorzien.

The House of the Dead 2: Remake is nu dan ook officieel aangekondigd en de game zal ergens in de lente van 2025 verschijnen voor zowel last-gen als current-gen consoles én pc. Je weet vast al wel wat je kan verwachten: chaos, zombies, veel bloed… en dat allemaal met vernieuwde moderne visuals! Lees hieronder een beschrijving en bekijk de eerste trailer.

The House of the Dead 2: Remake is a remake of the second entry in the well-known and popular rail shooter series. Take on the lone role of a secret agent as James or Gary, or team up in cooperative mode to neutralize the dangerous undead monsters standing in your way.
