Capcom restarted Resident Evil 0 remake development from scratch - insider

The project faced certain difficulties.

After the announcement of Resident Evil: Veronica at Summer Game Fest 2026, fans' attention quickly shifted to the next possible remake from Capcom. According to rumors, after Veronica's release in 2027, the company plans to tackle an updated version of Resident Evil 0, but the project's development allegedly faced serious difficulties.

This was reported by the well-known insider Dusk Golem, who has been publishing information about the Resident Evil franchise for many years. According to him, the development of the Resident Evil 0 remake may have been restarted almost from scratch. Moreover, the project was allegedly transferred to the Division 1 team within Capcom.

The insider commented on fans' concerns that the game might have been handled by the studio that worked on the Resident Evil 3 remake. Despite its commercial success, Resident Evil 3 Remake is considered by many players and critics to be the most controversial of the modern re-imaginings of the series. The project was criticized for numerous changes and content cuts compared to the original, so the news of a possible change in the development team was met with cautious optimism by some parts of the community.

However, there is no official confirmation of this information yet. Dusk Golem's words remain just rumors, although the insider has repeatedly demonstrated good awareness of Capcom's plans. Nevertheless, his information is not always accurate, so such reports should be treated with a degree of skepticism.

The next major release in the remake lineup will be Resident Evil: Veronica, scheduled for release on PC and consoles in 2027.
