Leaker Shares Bold Prediction for Resident Evil Zero Remake

by

Summary

  • Long-time Resident Evil leaker Dusk Golem predicts that Capcom will strike a marketing deal with Nintendo for the rumored Resident Evil Zero remake.
  • The new version of Resident Evil Zero is still expected to be a multi-platform title.
  • The Resident Evil Zero remake will reportedly wrap up development around the same time RE9 does, making it unclear which one will be released first.

It’s speculated that the rumored remake of Resident Evil Zero might lead Capcom to negotiate a marketing agreement with Nintendo, according to a reliable source. This suggests that the revamped version of Resident Evil Zero could be launched on the Switch 2 on its first day.

Back in May 2024, a well-known leaker known as Dusk Golem, who has been associated with Capcom for a long time, hinted at the development of a remake for Resident Evil Zero. Additionally, they suggested that Capcom was also working on remaking Resident Evil Code: Veronica around the same time.

Approximately eight months have passed, and Dusk Golem has returned to Twitter with their thoughts, labeling them as informed predictions about the upcoming developments in the Resident Evil series. They suggest that it’s highly probable that Capcom and Nintendo will collaborate on marketing for a remake of Resident Evil Zero. Even though the original game was launched as an exclusive for GameCube back in 2002, if this partnership occurs, the rumored remake could be accessible across multiple platforms. Dusk Golem anticipates that this remake will be available on a wide variety of systems, whether it’s simultaneously at launch or eventually.

Why a Nintendo Marketing Partnership Is a Bold Prediction for Resident Evil Zero Remake

The theory put forth by the source is quite daring, primarily because Capcom’s promotional strategies for their “Resident Evil” series have been largely independent of Nintendo for quite some time. For instance, the unveiling of both the Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 4 remakes took place at PlayStation events. If Capcom were to indeed collaborate with Nintendo on the marketing of their next remake, they would be departing from this long-standing pattern of revealing such projects at PlayStation events.

Resident Evil Zero Remake Could Beat RE9 to the Market

Through a tweet, Dusk Golem stated that both the remake of Resident Evil Zero and Resident Evil 9 are expected to finish development around the same period. This unique situation gives Capcom an opportunity to decide which high-budget Resident Evil game to launch next. The one they pick will likely be unveiled first, as Capcom traditionally announces their Resident Evil games approximately six months before they hit the market.

2026 is going to be a big year for Resident Evil, marking three decades since its inception. I’m pretty sure they’re planning to drop at least one new game next year to celebrate. The rumor mill suggests that the Code: Veronica remake will follow after RE9 and the reimagining of RE0. Word on the street is that the new Code: Veronica won’t be as grandiose as the Resident Evil 4 remake, but it’s still something we fans can look forward to!
