Resident Evil 0 Remake 2025: Release Date, Platforms, Gameplay Upgrades — Everything We Know So Far

Capcom has been on a hot streak turning classic Resident Evil games into slick modern remakes. The next one everyone keeps whispering about? Resident Evil 0. None of this is official yet, but there is enough smoke here to at least warm your hands.

So, what is actually being said

• The project is reportedly codenamed 'Project Chamber' (subtle nod to Rebecca, not exactly a masterclass in subtlety) and has been in development for several years.
• The current target floating around is a 2028 release. That is a long runway, so expect plans to shift.
• Capcom is said to be sticking to its now-standard remake playbook: keep the original story intact, then expand and modernize the rest around it.
• Gameplay-wise, the Partner Zapping System returns, letting you hop between Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen, with rumors pointing to a smoother, more flexible switch system.
• New for RE0: online co-op. The original did not have it, so this would be the first time you can team up over the internet for this particular entry.
• Expect some new story beats. One example being tossed around: the train conductor, previously basically an off-screen footnote, could get an expanded role that ramps up the early train sequence.
• Performance capture and voice work are reportedly happening at Beyond Capture Studios.
• Casting chatter has Jon McLaren in line to play Billy Coen, and it sounds like the leads are being fully recast.

Why this one could land

RE0 is a good candidate for a remix. There is a lot of cool lore orbiting S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team and the Arklay Mountains that the original only hinted at, and Capcom has a track record of adding small, effective narrative touches that deepen the world without breaking what fans loved. If they go cinematic with stronger performance capture and bring in seasoned actors, plus give the zapping system modern polish and online co-op, you get something that is both familiar and fresh. That is the sweet spot for a remake.

Where it might fit on Capcom's timeline

The rumor mill also says RE0 would arrive after a Code Veronica remake, which is supposedly penciled in for early 2027. If true, that staggered schedule makes sense: one big entry a year keeps the series in the conversation without flooding it. Again, none of this is locked in, but the cadence tracks with how Capcom has been pacing these.

Bottom line: treat all of this as credible-but-unconfirmed. The codename is almost too on the nose, the features line up with Capcom's recent approach, and a 2028 window gives them time to do it right. If it all pans out, RE0 could be the one that finally gives its train-set opener the tension and scope it always deserved.
