After a string of hugely successful remakes (Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 4), Capcom has proven that revisiting classics can be much more than a nostalgic gesture to long-time fans — it can breathe new life into legendary stories. Thanks to this approach, the Resident Evil series has entered a full-blown renaissance, and it seems the best is yet to come.
According to multiple reports, another remake is already on the horizon. But which one — and what exactly do we know about it?
Capcom Project Chamber: Resident Evil 0 Remake in Development
As reported by MP1st, Capcom has been quietly working since 2023 on a mysterious “Project Chamber” — name of which seems to nod directly to Resident Evil 0’s main heroine, Rebecca Chambers. In other words, the long-rumored Resident Evil 0 Remake development is real and already well underway.
Sources claim the internal studio team is leading production, with motion capture and full voice recording sessions beginning in 2024. That puts the remake in an advanced stage of development, even though an official announcement has yet to be made.
According to early reports, the remake will introduce some updates to make the experience feel more modern, emotionally engaging, with cinematic storytelling. The story’s core will remain familiar, but the narrative structure is being reworked — with new dialogues, expanded scenes, and more depth for certain storylines. One such addition reportedly focuses on the Ecliptic Express train sequence, which will receive entirely new moments and character interactions.
Even previously minor characters are said to be getting more screen time. For instance, the train conductor, a near-silent background figure in the original, will now have a proper voice and key interactions with Rebecca. This should help flesh out her motivations and tighten the connection to Umbrella’s early experiments.
If Capcom’s recent remakes are anything to go by, we can expect a complete overhaul — not just graphically, but mechanically. The modern RE Engine will likely bring realistic lighting, expressive facial animations, and dynamic camera work worthy of a horror film. The cooperative character-switching system might also be refined or even reimagined to feel more intuitive and fluid in today’s gameplay standards.
What Was Resident Evil 0?
Originally released in 2002 for the GameCube, Resident Evil 0 survival horror served as a prequel to the first game in the RE series. It followed young S.T.A.R.S. medic Rebecca Chambers and ex-soldier Billy Coen — wrongfully accused of murder — as they fought to survive aboard a monster-infested train before venturing into the eerie Arklay Mountains near Raccoon City.
Conclusion
While Capcom hasn’t officially confirmed the RE0 remake yet, all signs point to the Ecliptic Express soon departing once again — this time powered by new technology, a richer narrative, and a fresh dose of fear.
And if the history of Resident Evil remakes has taught us anything, it’s that the studio knows exactly how to resurrect old titles and make them pulse with new life. Who knows — once Resident Evil 0 Remake launches, maybe it’ll finally be Code: Veronica’s turn in the spotlight?
