In January, SEGA of Japan displayed a new installment in its arcade light gun series House of the Dead at its Akihabara building.

Now it looks like House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn is heading to Western arcades. SEGA Amusements recently updated their arcade page with the following:

“Horror has never looked or felt this real… This is terror like you have never experienced before.

“House Of The Dead: Scarlet Dawn. Coming soon to arcades.”

The story of House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn takes place three years after the events of The House of the Dead 4. Returning AMS agent Kate Green is joined by Ryan Taylor, the brother of James Taylor, to investigate a suspicious dinner event held at the Scarecrow’s Mansion. Needless to say, bullets and blood will follow in buckets.

House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn uses Unreal Engine 4, while the cabinet is equipped with vibrating seats, air cannons, and motion sensing lights to attract potential players passing by. The game also includes a trophy function and a nationwide ranking system.
