Leaker Reveals Daring Forecast for Resident Evil Zero Remake

A well-known Resident Evil leaker, Dusk Golem, suggests that Capcom might team up with Nintendo for the marketing of the much-speculated Resident Evil Zero remake. Although the remake is still set to be available on multiple platforms, there’s a strong likelihood that it will be released from day one on Nintendo’s expected new console, the Switch 2.

Back in May 2024, Dusk Golem, an established Capcom leaker, mentioned the possibility of a Resident Evil Zero remake. They also hinted at a remake for Resident Evil Code: Veronica during the same period.

Recently, Dusk Golem revisited this topic on Twitter, providing what they termed as “educated speculation” about the future of the Resident Evil series. They believe it’s “highly likely” that Capcom will partner with Nintendo to market the Resident Evil Zero remake. Although the original game was exclusively launched for the GameCube in 2002, the anticipated remake is expected to have a broader release, despite any potential marketing partnership with Nintendo. The leaker anticipates that the Resident Evil Zero remake will eventually be accessible across all platforms.

The idea of Capcom partnering with Nintendo for marketing is intriguing. Historically, Capcom’s promotional efforts for Resident Evil have not prominently featured Nintendo. Notably, previous remakes like Resident Evil 3 and 4 were unveiled during PlayStation events. Such a move would mark a departure from Capcom’s trend of showcasing new releases at PlayStation-centric events.

In response to a Twitter query, Dusk Golem shared that both the Resident Evil Zero remake and Resident Evil 9 are on track to complete development simultaneously. This scenario presents Capcom with a unique opportunity to decide which project to launch first, likely unveiling it officially beforehand. Capcom has shown a pattern of announcing Resident Evil titles approximately six months before they hit the market.

As 2026 marks the Resident Evil franchise’s 30th anniversary, it’s highly probable that Capcom will release at least one title next year. It’s rumored that the Code: Veronica remake will emerge after both RE9 and the Resident Evil Zero remake, with reports suggesting it will be a less ambitious project compared to the recent Resident Evil 4 remake.

Be ready to dive back into the origins of the Resident Evil nightmare with Resident Evil 0. This remastered version of the beloved prequel to the original game offers revitalized HD visuals, enhanced audio, widescreen support, and updated controls. It’s an optimal way to explore the events leading to the notorious mansion incident that set off the entire saga. The game rewinds to 1998, following mounting reports of strange murders around Raccoon City. The S.T.A.R.S. Special Forces, including rookie Rebecca Chambers, are deployed to investigate. However, an unexpected helicopter malfunction forces them into a perilous crash landing. As Rebecca, you will encounter death row escapee and ex-Navy Lieutenant Billy Coen. Players will alternate between controlling Rebecca and Billy, leveraging their unique abilities to overcome challenges and navigate the ominous trials that await.
