Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica Remakes Reportedly in Development at Capcom

Capcom's remake renaissance continues as reliable insider AestheticGamer1 (Dusk Golem) reports that both Resident Evil Zero and Resident Evil Code: Veronica remakes are currently in development. The leaker, known for accurate Resident Evil information, revealed that these titles represent the next mainline remakes following the successful releases of Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 remakes.

The development reportedly involves Capcom M-Two, with several team members who worked on the original Resident Evil 0—including its director and producer—expressing interest in tackling the remake. This creative continuity suggests the remake could benefit from the original vision while leveraging modern technology and game design sensibilities that made recent RE remakes critically acclaimed.

Code Veronica's remake is being treated as a major mainline release rather than a smaller-scale project, addressing fan concerns about whether the title would receive the full remake treatment it deserves. The game, originally released for Dreamcast in 2000, follows Claire Redfield and Chris Redfield as they confront the Ashford family and Umbrella Corporation's Antarctic facility. Its canonical importance to the series narrative and unique gameplay mechanics make it a prime candidate for modern reimagining.

Resident Evil Zero, the 2002 GameCube prequel starring Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen, introduced the partner-zapping system and explored the events immediately before the mansion incident. A remake could address the original's pacing issues while maintaining the atmospheric tension and unique dual-character mechanics that defined the experience.

Both titles carry tentative release windows between 2027 and 2028, though Capcom has not officially confirmed either project. The decision to prioritize these remakes over a Resident Evil 1 remake—which already received the REmake treatment on GameCube in 2002—demonstrates Capcom's commitment to bringing less-accessible classic entries to modern platforms with contemporary design standards.

This news arrives as Capcom continues riding the momentum of Resident Evil 4 Remake's success and the ongoing development of Resident Evil Requiem. The publisher's systematic approach to remaking its survival horror catalog ensures both longtime fans and newcomers can experience these pivotal entries with modern graphics, refined controls, and quality-of-life improvements that have become franchise standards. The Resident Evil 30th Anniversary celebration further demonstrates Capcom's commitment to the franchise's legacy.

While Capcom hasn't officially announced either remake, AestheticGamer1's track record with Resident Evil leaks lends credibility to these reports. Fans of Rebecca Chambers and the Redfield siblings can look forward to potentially revisiting these classic adventures rebuilt from the ground up for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
