Sega gives House of the Dead: Overkill special treatment

HOTD: Overkill

Wow. I was looking forward to grindhouse lightgunner HOTD: Overkill plenty already, but now I’ve seen this forthcoming special edition, I’m even more hyped.

Eurogamer is reporting that the game is now due for a February 13th launch in Europe - somewhat earlier than expected - and then this special edition Bang Bang Box shows up on Amazon Canada.

Various internet reports suggest the Bang Bang Box has also been confirmed for release in Sweden, which would suggest that it will be landing in all PAL territories (apart from Germany) soon. Expect a press release from Sega imminently. In the meantime I’m going to get excited about dual-wielding these ace new Hand Cannons and kicking some serious zombie ass. (While chewing bubblegum, obviously.)

Oh, and that date? It’s a Friday. Friday the 13th. How wonderfully apt.

    Sweden! yaay… hrm…
    What!? It’s a small country, and therefore we get a happy feeling inside every time someone mentions it outside of Scandinavia.

    I went to Sweden briefly last year, actually - I attended Nordic Game in Malmo. You have a very beautiful country, Johan. :)
