You might have seen last week during the latest Nintendo Indie World Showcase that Forever Entertainment announced a remake of the original House of the Dead, and it's probably coming to Xbox as well.
The existence of this game was actually revealed all the way back in 2019, along with a remake of House of the Dead 2, and a report suggested at the time that The House of the Dead: Remake was likely coming to Xbox One.
As of yet, The House of the Dead: Remake has only been confirmed for Nintendo Switch, and is set to release at some point in 2021. Notably, the game's first trailer mentions nothing about it being exclusive to any platform.
We'll have to wait for more details on an Xbox version, but we're certainly hoping to see it eventually!
Do you think we'll see The House of the Dead: Remake on Xbox this year? Give us your thoughts below.

I imagine it'll be like Panzer Dragoon, first launching on Switch before coming to the other platforms, I think its the same dev and publisher
Can see using joycon as pointer but how will it be played on Xbox? Am looking forward to it though.
@Beermonkey was thinking the same thing thing until someone said. What about handheld mode which is how most switch users play.
So I think will just be that move joystick to move aimer on screen kinda game
Having a blast playing THotD4 in the local arcade years ago particularly because of that huge & badass gun controller. As great as joycon is, can't see it provide close the immersiveness of the arcade gun controller let alone imagining the step down in gameplay experience by playing in handheld mode or with standard console controller. Really it's such a perfect game for arcade gaming system.
@Beermonkey @Terrin Probably stick aiming, with optional gyro aiming. The Xbox controller doesn't have the tech for gyroscopic aiming, so it'd HAVE to be stick controls if it's coming to this platform as well.
@Ralizah yeah as unless they partner to use that light gun that is used by like 3 Games and pretty much is doa.
I miss light gun games. I think they don’t work with flatscreens for some reason, I wish they would figure that out.
Q) Do you think we'll see The House of the Dead: Remake on Xbox this year?
A) @carlos82 basically said my answer to this question, but to add on to that, it's very hard to determine whether any game will still keep to it's release date target given the effects of Covid are still being felt. So I'm pretty sure we won't see a release for the game on Xbox Series X this year.
If it does come out on Xbox Series X though... that gives me a difficult decision as to whether to purchase the game on it or Switch. The Xbox Series X is my preferred system but the Switch version is likely to have motion control aiming. Well, I probably won't decide on a purchasing decision until I hear whether it's physical or not, so that question can simmer in my head for a while.
If this means the return of light gun peripherals I’m all in
I'll be buying it for the switch anyway
