The Typing of the Dead 2 is an arcade education game and the proper sequel to The Typing of the Dead. It was released in arcades in 2007 and the following year for the PC, exclusive only in Japan.
As the previous game was a revision and parody of The House of the Dead 2, which replaced the character's guns with keyboards and prompted players to type words or sentences to kill zombies, The Typing of the Dead 2 serves as a revision of The House of the Dead III. Characters now wield keyboard-shaped shotguns and once again wear backpacks that consist of a battery and a Dreamcast.
Like the previous game, The Typing of the Dead 2 has an emphasis on improving the player's touch-typing skills.
Another sequel, The Typing of the Dead: Overkill, based on The House of the Dead: Overkill, would be released on October 29, 2013.
