The gothic trailer showed two guns that, according to Arcade Heroes, were also used in the 2022 coin-op VR Agent, a collaboration between Sega and 3MindWave. The site also says it has confirmed the game will use VR tech.
Arcade Heroes did some more digging and found that Sega Amusements’ official website has a page for House of the Dead Reawakened. The site also notes that Attractions Magazine has referenced the game's title and stated that it will be running on ...

About bloody time!
For the remakes on Steam, I have asked them to consider a VR-mode (https://steamcommunity.com/app/1694600/discussions/0/3271311587254932272/)... twice! (https://steamcommunity.com/app/3376690/discussions/0/596263931969838839/)
So, my two questions are:- Will this be a VR-port of the remakes, or a new THotD game for VR?
- Will it get a Steam release?

1. Nothing official has been shared other than the teaser trailer & website but according to rumour it's a new one developed by 3MINDWAVE using Unreal Engine 5.
The gameplay is kinda like VR Agent or may be Alpha Ops VR Strike (both of these games were developed by 3MINDWAVE) :

2. Considering all SEGA Amusement games that developed by 3MINDWAVE (VR Agent, Apex Rebels, Alpha Ops VR Strike, Storm Racer 2, Storm Rider 2, ATV Slam, etc) were released for arcade and never being ported to PC and consoles, most likely this will be arcade exclusive only.

God damnit!
I'm starting to think I'll have to resort to the right emulators and ROMs if I want to play Scarlet Dawn and this upcoming THotD:VR game. I don't want to given I have morals with emulating games younger than seventh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seventh_generation_of_video_game_consoles) or early-eighth generation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighth_generation_of_video_game_consoles) old (that and I feel I'd be "pushing my luck" if I did get more modern emulators). But arcade games are just too exclusive for me! Hell, there's hardly any emulators for modern arcade games.
Hm, 3MINDGAMES have a website with a "Contact Us" page for enquiries. Wouldn't hurt to send them an email asking if they will consider re-releasing their games to Steam.
But I know won't guarantee anything. Especially given Sega are the ones with exclusivity rights. (Just as Demiurge Studios have released mobile games for Steam, but not Sega Heroes.)
