It's been announced today by Forever Entertainment that The House of the Dead 2: Remake will be coming to Xbox One, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S (along with PlayStation and Nintendo Switch) at some point in Spring 2025!
This new version promises "modern graphics" along with remastered music, and it's playable either solo or in local co-op. For now, there's no confirmed release date or pricing for this sequel, but we'll let you know when that changes.
As you're probably aware, the first House of the Dead Remake arrived a few years ago on Xbox to lukewarm reviews, with the main negatives being the lack of proper lightgun support. Still, if you're got a bunch of nostalgia for The House of the Dead 2 and you're keen on checking it out again, this should be a decent time with a controller alone.
We'll throw some screenshots for The House of the Dead 2: Remake down below:
"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 co-op mode to neutralize the dangerous undead monsters standing in your way."

The first remake was fantastic, played it at lot. On PC though and with my Sinden Light gun.
The PlayStation 3 Move era was fantastic for these sort of games and we had a good few
And a light gun attachment from Namco for the Move controller, perfect.
Just make it for VR already you cowards.
RELOAD....RELOAD!!!
I'm gonna buy it regardless but at the very least could we get mouse support or perhaps look into making a 3rd part lightgun that comes with a sensor bar
Yep, looks about as crummy as the first one. Except I have far deeper nostalgia for the second game, so I’d rather get it in its original form and not in this overly post processed, rusty brown form.
Don't understand the point of remaking a game and it's worse than the original.
Just make a new game? Literally just make a new House of the Dead. Or, actually, just port the originals and let us play those.
1/2/3/4 on Switch and Xbox would be great. Nobody wants these bargain bin cheap remakes.
"Ok, so we remade the first House of the Dead, which was received less than favourably because of the lack of proper lightgun support. What's next?"
"Remake... House of the Dead 2 without proper lightgun support?"
"I love it! Give that man a raise!"
So are they releasing a gun for this or are we expected to use a controller because I can't see this being half as fun without the gun!
I LOVED HOTD2 and I'm going to be incredibly critical of this. Played it to death as a kid on my dreamcast... sshh don't tell my mom.
I enjoyed the 1st one on Xbox, the 2nd one was great on Dreamcast. Looking forward to it, maybe we will see HOD 3 one day?
I have 2 & 3 on Wii. I was tempted to get 1 on Xbox, but I don't know if I will like it without the Wii Remote. These games are literally arcade gun games.
