The Resident Evil franchise continues to dominate the survival horror landscape, and if recent rumors hold any weight, Capcom’s next remake could be none other than Resident Evil 0. According to well-known horror gaming insider Dusk Golem, whispers within the industry suggest that Capcom may be in the early stages of developing a full-fledged remake of the 2002 prequel.
A Logical Next Step for Capcom
Following the massive success of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and most recently, Resident Evil 4 remakes, it makes sense for Capcom to continue revisiting its back catalog. While many speculated that Resident Evil: Code Veronica might be next in line, the choice of Resident Evil 0 would align with Capcom’s recent approach of modernizing core titles within the main storyline.
What to Expect From a Resident Evil 0 Remake
If the rumor proves true, Capcom would likely rebuild Resident Evil 0 from the ground up using the RE Engine, similar to its previous remakes. This would mean revamped gameplay mechanics, improved visuals, and potentially adjustments to the game’s divisive partner-zapping system.
Resident Evil 0 follows Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen as they investigate the origins of the T-Virus, leading directly into the events of the first Resident Evil game. Given its unique setting aboard a doomed train and deep ties to franchise lore, a modern remake could enhance and expand the franchise’s origin story for a new generation of players.
Should Fans Believe the Rumor?
Dusk Golem has a pretty strong track record when it comes to Resident Evil leaks, but as always, rumors should be taken with caution until Capcom makes an official announcement. That said, considering the franchise’s continued success with remakes, it wouldn’t be surprising if Resident Evil 0 is indeed on the horizon.
For now, we can only speculate and wait for more information. If Capcom does announce a remake, it could be one of the most exciting projects yet for longtime Resident Evil enthusiasts.
