After the remake of first game released before in 2022, now Forever Entertainment and MegaPixel Studio is returning with second part. This one promises nicer graphics, changed gameplay mechanics, and staying close to the original’s mood.

Second Game Is Coming Again

Back when it first released in 1998, The House of the Dead 2 become one of the favorite arcade zombie shooter from SEGA. Later it came to Dreamcast, Wii and even computer. Now with remake, the same fast action of shooting undeads will come back, but looking more sharp and advanced. Developers said the old story and paths will stay same. Even the strange voices will be there, just improved some for modern taste.

If we go by past game’s release pattern, people think it might come in end of 2025 or maybe start of 2026. Makers of the game also said that all versions will get smooth and stable performance, whether on big screen or handheld.

Gameplay and What’s Changed

Even if the core game stays similar, this remake is not just copy-paste. Some big improvements are:

• Much better visuals and 3D graphics

• New control options, like aiming with joystick or gyro sensor

• Co-op gameplay for two players still exists

• Trophies and scoreboards added for more challenge

• Extra modes, but not yet explained by the devs

From early preview images and teaser clips, this version seems more dark in tone, maybe to feel more horror than comic like before. How the difficulty is balanced is also going to be important for fans.

It’s looking like Forever Entertainment wants to keep what made this game great, but also make it good for players today. Since remake of first game did pretty well, there is hope that The House of the Dead 2: Remake will do better. Whether you played the old version or not before, this new remake could be a fun and scary trip back to zombie shooting days.
