House of the Dead: Scarlet Dawn was released in 2018. I think light gun games are hanging on by a thread in arcades too, they're just totally dead on consoles.
The House of the Dead remake was nice (on PC at least) they're also remaking the second game.
I think I would second the argument that traditional RTS games are pretty much dead. Age of Empires 4 came and went recently but seemed to largely be a non-event. And we are getting Homeworld 3 and Company of Heroes 3, but those are very non-traditional RTS games in that they have no base building component, or at least past entries didn't. Can't say I've been closely following either's development.
EDIT: I have a vague memory of an RTS being announced within the past two years with a cinematic trailer at E3 or some other gaming show. Might have been ex Blizzard people? And I recall the title being awful and generic and I have therefore forgotten it. Or I could be describing a fever dream I had or something. But I feel like this is a real thing.
The RTS you're thinking of is probably Stormgate.
Check out Tempest Rising, that's an upcoming spirtitual sequel to Command & Conquer.
