The House of the Dead 2 Remake may be launching sometime soon, based on a new PEGI rating that has registered the game for Nintendo Switch. This is the sequel to The House of the Dead Remake, which was released in 2022.

The House of the Dead 2 Remake was first announced by Megapixel Studio and Forever Entertainment in 2019, along with its prequel, The House of the Dead Remake. Since then, only the latter has landed on consoles, and no new information about The House of the Dead 2 Remake has been formally unveiled. The House of the Dead is a well-known horror franchise from the light gun shooter genre born in 1996 for arcade systems. With five installments and a handful of spin-offs, the series has remained quite popular among horror fans.

Now, The House of the Dead 2 Remake could finally be released soon, after the title has received an 18 rating by PEGI (Pan European Game Information). According to the site, the game has been registered for Nintendo Switch and Microids is the physical distributor. The rating also listed a release date of June 14, 2024, though the game clearly isn't available yet on any platform. However, this PEGI rating could confirm that The House of the Dead 2 Remake is coming sooner rather than later.

The House of the Dead 2 Remake could be released soon

PEGI is a video game organization from Europe that categorizes titles for different ages based on their content. For example, The House of the Dead 2 Remake has been rated 18, which means it contains violent imagery. In the past, when a game received an early PEGI rating, it would mean that gamers could finally receive news of an official launch on platforms. Considering that a Nintendo Direct is happening this month, there is a chance that The House of the Dead 2 Remake will make an appearance at the event.

The wait for The House of the Dead 2 Remake has been a long one for the franchise fans. Its prequel arrived for PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and PC but received mixed reviews upon launch. If the remake of the sequel really does release soon, it will be interesting to see if it lives up to expectations. In the meantime, gamers who love horror can look forward to the October release of Silent Hill 2, another highly anticipated remake in the genre.
