Publisher Forever Entertainment and developer MegaPixel Studio have confirmed that The House of the Dead 2: Remake launches on PS5/PS4 and Xbox Series X|S / Xbox One on October 24 for $24.99. The undead shooter already arrived on Nintendo Switch and PC back in August, and this new drop brings the arcade classic to more living rooms just in time for spooky season.
The remake keeps the fast, on-rails arcade action intact while sharpening presentation and options fans asked for: modern visuals, a remastered soundtrack with the original OST selectable, local co-op, branching routes with multiple endings, plus dedicated Boss and Training modes alongside the Classic Campaign.
A PlayStation Store listing corroborates the date, with wishlists open ahead of launch. For newcomers, this is the most convenient way to experience SEGA’s 1998 cult hit on console; for veterans, it’s a streamlined chance to chase high scores without an arcade cabinet, now with quality-of-life upgrades and polished presentation.
Why it matters: beyond nostalgia, this release unifies platforms and supports couch co-op at a budget price. If you missed the PC/Switch drop, October 24 is your cue to reload—new modes, classic routes, and a fresh coat of paint for a legendary rail shooter.
