Resident Evil Zero (2002) and Resident Evil – Code: Veronica (2000), two classic survival horror games that allowed players to take on the roles of Claire Redfield/Chris Redfield and Rebecca Chambers/Billy Coen, respectively, are set to return decades after their original debut on the Sega Dreamcast and Nintendo GameCube platforms, according to new rumors that surfaced this week about how remakes for both titles are currently in development at Capcom. Dusk Golem, who shared the alleged news, claimed earlier this month that a remake of the original Resident Evil is also in the works, planned for release in 2026, while RE9, the next mainline installment of the franchise, may be delayed to late 2025 or 2026.
Capcom’s RE remakes already include:
- Resident Evil 4 (March 23, 2023)
- Resident Evil 3 (April 2, 2020)
- Resident Evil 2 (January 25, 2019)
The word from Dusk Golem:
(4/4) a remake of Resident Evil Zero & Code Veronica in development right now.

I've talked to many others behind the scenes about this at this point, it's something I heard over a year ago, think it was going to get out whether I was the one to say it or not, & that's about it.
