A fresh wave of leaks has reignited speculation that Resident Evil 0 is next in line for Capcom’s remake treatment, with multiple sources hinting at a potential 2028 release window.
Originally launched in 2002 for the Nintendo GameCube, Resident Evil 0 served as a prequel to the first game in the legendary survival horror franchise. The story followed rookie officer Rebecca Chambers and escaped convict Billy Coen as they navigated through a series of terrifying encounters. The game stood out for its unique dual-character system, allowing players to switch between the two protagonists at any time. Although Capcom later released HD remasters, fans have long awaited a full-fledged remake.

Multiple Leaks Point to a 2028 Launch
According to noted insider Dusk Golem, Capcom’s internal release roadmap includes a Code: Veronica remake set for early 2027, followed by Resident Evil 0 in 2028, and then a brand-new mainline installment in 2029. Gaming outlet MP1ST backed these claims, revealing that Resident Evil 0’s remake—reportedly codenamed “Chamber”—has been in development for several years. The report also mentions actor Jon McLaren, best known for portraying Star-Lord in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, as being involved in the project, possibly voicing Billy Coen. Beyond Capture Studios is said to be handling performance capture for the game.
These rumors align with earlier leaks that mentioned both Resident Evil 0 and Code: Veronica remakes being in the works. However, the projected order seems to have changed, with Code: Veronica expected first and Resident Evil 0 following a year later.
What’s Next for Resident Evil Fans
Before these remakes arrive, fans will have Resident Evil Requiem to look forward to, which Capcom has confirmed for release on February 27, 2026. The upcoming title returns players to Raccoon City and features a new protagonist, Grace Ashcroft. Capcom has teased that Requiem will emphasize classic survival horror elements more strongly than recent entries.
