The remake will be available on Nintendo Switch, PC (GOG and Steam), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Prepare for high-octane action, bloody explosions, and satisfying combo counters – a perfect blend of retro charm and modern polish.

The House of the Dead 2: Remake joins a growing trend of resurrected classic horror games, following successful remakes of Resident Evil and the remastering of Clock Tower. This remake promises a thrilling return to the zombie-filled thrills of the late 90s, updated for a new generation. Stay tuned for more updates as the release date approaches.
