Resident Evil Zero Remake Plans for 2028 Launch Unveiled

Capcom is reportedly aiming for a 2028 release for its upcoming remake of Resident Evil Zero, featuring a lead actor from Square Enix’s Guardians of the Galaxy video game. This news builds upon last year's reports verified by IGN, indicating that Capcom continues to revamp its classic Resident Evil titles.

Release Timeline

According to MP1st, Resident Evil Code Veronica is set to launch in Q1 2027, followed by the Zero remake in 2028. The project carries the codename Project Chamber, a nod to character Rebecca Chambers, and is listed in the resume of Jon McLaren, known for his work in Far Cry 5 and Guardians of the Galaxy.

Production Details

McLaren's involvement includes performance capture at Beyond Capture Studios, a facility previously utilized by Capcom for the Resident Evil 4 Remake and Street Fighter 6. The remake is expected to introduce new scenes and expand on the original game’s narrative, including an enhanced role for the conductor during the pivotal train sequence.

Game Background

Originally released in 2002 on the GameCube, Resident Evil Zero serves as a prequel to the franchise's first game. Players alternate between Rebecca Chambers and escaped convict Billy Coen as they navigate the terrifying events that unfold in the Arklay Mountains.

Fans eager to see what Capcom has in store will have to wait, although details about the project and its 2028 timeline provide a exciting glimpse into the future.

In the meantime, Capcom is also gearing up for the launch of Resident Evil Requiem, set for February 27, 2026, aligning with the franchise's 30th anniversary and promising to conclude several long-standing storylines.
