Sega Amusements has quietly signaled a major return for its long-running light gun franchise with a teaser ahead of IAAPA 2026.
The company posted a 30-second trailer that was highlighted by industry site Arcade Heroes, and official pages on Sega Amusements web properties list a title called House of the Dead Reawakened.
The announcement is scheduled to take place at the International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions trade show in November 2026.
Teaser details and confirmed tech

Sega Amusements material and coverage in Attractions Magazine also reference the name House of the Dead Reawakened and state that the game will run on Unreal Engine 5.
