Players once again step into the shoes of a secret agent battling a massive zombie outbreak, but now with expanded environments and gameplay modes. Expect a Classic Campaign, a dedicated Boss Mode, branching level paths, and multiple endings to add replayability.

Launching on Nintendo Switch, PC (GOG and Steam), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, The House of the Dead 2: Remake aims to deliver an authentic retro arcade experience with modern enhancements. The high-energy music, visceral action, and combo system are all present, complemented by updated visuals and a streamlined HUD.

Joining the recent wave of classic horror game revivals (think Resident Evil remakes and the Clock Tower remaster), The House of the Dead 2: Remake promises a thrilling return for fans of zombie horror and retro gaming alike. Keep an eye out for further updates as the Spring 2025 release date approaches.
