Forever Entertainment is a Polish programmer and publisher, responsible for a wide diversity of PC and mobile games. Nearly notable for the sake of this story, Forever is also working on a remake of Sega's Panzer Dragoon for the Nintendo Switch. Some footage of the Panzer Dragoon remake was released at E3 2019, and the game is actually looking pretty solid. Y'all tin check out the Panzer Dragoon trailer, below.

Like I said, looking solid! If this is the kind of work Forever Amusement is capable of putting out, The House of the Dead remakes might exist worth looking frontward to! So far, we don't know what platforms The Firm of the Dead remakes might be coming to – will they be Switch-only similar Panzer Dragoon, or can folks on other platforms wait forward to blasting some zombies, too? Nosotros'll accept to wait and come across.

For those unfamiliar with the series, The House of the Expressionless games are on-rails zombie light-gun shooters. You play as "1000" and a host of other secret agents who must defeat zombie-creating mad scientists and other assorted villains. The games' stories and cutscenes are hilariously bad, simply they're fun, uncomplicated action games. A new entry in series, Business firm of the Dead: Scarlett Dawn, was recently released in arcades, then it seems Sega is interested in keeping the franchise live. Or undead at least.

No word yet on when The House of the Dead remakes will arrive, but it sounds similar they're early in development, and so do look them until belatedly 2020 or peradventure 2021. What practise you think? Excited for some more on-rails zombie splattering?
