Resident Evil 0 Remake Reportedly In Production with Expanded Story and New Voice Cast

Capcom is reportedly developing a full remake of Resident Evil 0, reviving the 2002 title for modern platforms and expanding upon its story, visuals and characterisation. According to a detailed breakdown published by TheGamer, the project is internally code-named “Project Chamber” and is said to be in production for several years now.

What We Know So Far

Development reports suggest that the remake is already underway. Multiple outlets, including TechRadar, cite insider information indicating that the next wave of remakes after the recent trilogy will focus on Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil Code: Veronica. Voice capture and motion-capture work reportedly began in 2024, and the remake is projected for release in 2027–2028. Additional leaks from sources such as MP1st, summarised by PureXbox, claim the remake will contain brand-new story segments, updated characters and expanded “what if” scenarios beyond the original game’s script.

Why This Remake Matters

Resident Evil 0 holds a unique place in the series as a prequel that introduced dual-character gameplay with Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen and broadened survival-horror mechanics. With the remake wave having revitalised much of the franchise—such as the acclaimed remakes of RE2, RE3 and RE4—this next step could redefine how Capcom handles older entries. The rumours suggest Capcom is treating this as more than a visual refresh: the remake is expected to deepen narrative threads, overhaul level design, and modernise mechanics to meet current generation standards.

For fans of the series, this is an opportunity to see a cult Classic reinterpreted with modern ambitions. If the reported timeline is accurate, Resident Evil 0 Remake could rebuild one of the franchise’s most enduring chapters—and position itself as the next major survival-horror release in Capcom’s pipeline following its announced titles.

What to Watch and What’s Still Unknown

Despite the strong rumours, Capcom has not officially confirmed the remake or released a trailer. Key questions remain: how much of the original will be preserved versus re-imagined, what platforms it will launch on, and how it will tie into the broader RE story-arc leading into the next major entry Resident Evil 9. Insider hints suggest that the team wants to avoid a rushed production, and that multiple years of development remain. If true, fans should prepare for a truly substantial remake rather than a quick remaster.

In the coming months, keep an eye on official Capcom announcements, trademark filings, and update schedules for the RE Engine—the technical backbone behind the recent remakes. For now the long build-up is part of the expectation: when the remake is finally revealed, it may mark a major milestone for the survival-horror genre.
