Lo and behold, it seems that a resurrection of the beloved light-gun arcade zombie shooter game The House of the Dead 2 is nigh. How do we know, you ask? Why, it has just garnered an ESRB listing for the esteemed Nintendo Switch, sending waves of excitement throughout the gaming community.
Back in the halcyon days of 1998, Sega unleashed The House of the Dead 2 upon unsuspecting arcade-goers, much to their delight. With its endearingly cheesy dialogue, voice acting, and addictively simple light-gun gameplay, the game quickly ascended to the pantheon of arcade classics. Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, The House of the Dead, which received a remake in 2022 from MegaPixel Studio and Forever Entertainment, it appears that this long-awaited sequel is now poised to rise from the ashes.
While the inklings of a remake for The House of the Dead 2 were first hinted at by Forever Entertainment in 2019, progress remained mysteriously shrouded in secrecy. Nonetheless, faithful fans were reassured of its existence earlier this year by the official The House of the Dead social media account. And now, whispers of The House of the Dead 2: Remake have been spotted on the sacred grounds of esteemed video game rating boards, including Europe’s PEGI and the venerable ESRB in the United States.
Delving into the dark depths of the ESRB’s evaluation reveals a tantalizing glimpse of what awaits players in The House of The Dead 2: Remake. With a mature rating, players are transported to Venice, Italy, assuming the mantle of an intrepid agent on a quest to locate a missing comrade.

Expect gruesome decapitations, dismemberments, and copious splatters of blood, all set against a backdrop of frenetic combat, echoing with gunfire, screams, and explosive chaos.
Inquiries have been made to Microids, listed on The House of the Dead 2: Remake’s ESRB rating, as well as Forever Entertainment for further elucidation. The response from Forever Entertainment? A cryptic message, revealing that all shall be revealed in due time through their sacred channels of social media. The wheels of progress are in motion, dear readers, as the anticipation for The House of the Dead 2: Remake continues to mount.
