In the pantheon of on-rails light gun shooters, The House of the Dead is an absolute classic. Sega brought zombie horror to the shooting gallery and plenty of grindhouse schlock to go with it, and now Forever Entertainment is set to bring it back in 2022. After a few years of waiting, it finally has the first House of the Dead: Remake ready to go for Nintendo Switch. What’s more, it’s coming out in early April 2022.

The House of the Dead: Remake is set to launch on the Nintendo Switch on April 7, 2022. Developed by MegaPixel, who worked on the Panzer Dragoon Remake for Forever Entertainment, The House of the Dead: Remake will bring the classic light gun shooter gameplay and multiple endings back with refreshed visuals and further new features such as a weapons gallery, photo mode, achievements, and more.
