With Steam Next Fest underway, MegaPixel Studio and developer Forever Entertainment have decided to give those of you waiting for The House of the Dead 2: Remake a treat with a new demo ahead of the game’s release later this year. The demo just contains the first level, but you’ll be able to get your co-op fix with a friend (if you so choose), as well as experience the the remastered soundtrack.
Along with the remastered soundtrack and graphical revamp, The House of the Dead 2: Remake will include the same co-op play, branching paths and multiple endings of the original game. The remake will also include a Boss Rush Mode, where you must defeat the game’s bosses as fast as you can, as well as a Training Mode, allowing you to hone your skills in different training scenarios.
For those who don’t know, The House of the Dead 2 picks up after the events of the first game. In February 2000, the city of Venice has suddenly become overrun by hostile creatures. AMS agents James Taylor and Gary Stewart have been dispatched to investigate. Upon their arrival, they soon realize that the situation resembles what happened at the Curien Mansion from two years prior. Determined to uncover the source of the infestation, the duo must shoot their way out.
The House of the Dead 2: Remake arrives later this spring on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, the Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam and GOG.
