Long-time Resident Evil enthusiast and leaker, known as Dusk Golem, anticipates that Capcom might establish a marketing collaboration with Nintendo for the much-speculated Resident Evil Zero remake. Although this remake is predicted to be available on multiple platforms, a partnership could see it launching on the anticipated Switch 2 from day one.
Back in May 2024, Dusk Golem had already suggested that Capcom was working on reimagining Resident Evil Zero, along with Resident Evil Code: Veronica. Now, months later, Dusk Golem has returned to Twitter, offering insights based on what they call “educated speculation.” They believe there’s a strong likelihood that Capcom will team up with Nintendo for the Resident Evil Zero remake’s marketing. Originally exclusive to the GameCube in 2002, this new version is expected to be more widely accessible, potentially available universally at launch or eventually.
Capcom’s shift in its marketing strategy would be significant, given their recent history of unveiling Resident Evil remakes during PlayStation events. If Dusk Golem’s prediction materializes, and Capcom collaborates with Nintendo for marketing, it would mark a departure from their established pattern.
In another intriguing update, Dusk Golem hinted that both the Resident Evil Zero remake and Resident Evil 9 might finish development simultaneously, giving Capcom a unique chance to decide which game hits the market first. Traditionally, Capcom tends to announce its Resident Evil titles about six months before release, so any announcement will likely indicate which game will roll out next. With the franchise’s 30th anniversary coming up in 2026, gamers could anticipate at least one major Resident Evil release that year. The Code: Veronica remake is expected to launch after Resident Evil 9 and the Zero remake, and it’s suggested to be less ambitious compared to the Resident Evil 4 remake.
Meanwhile, the hype around Resident Evil 0 persists, especially as fans anticipate reliving its eerie experience in a new remastered format. This version offers enhanced HD visuals, upgraded sound, and optional modern controls, promising to breathe new life into the prequel’s chilling journey set before the infamous mansion incident. Players will step into the shoes of rookie Rebecca Chambers and ex-Navy lieutenant Billy Coen, navigating their way through the mysterious challenges on the outskirts of Raccoon City.
For those eager to relive or embark on this initial quest, Resident Evil 0 was originally released on November 12, 2002, showing off its unique atmosphere through the MT Framework engine. Rated M for Mature, it promises intense thrills woven with an immersive storyline—a perfect precursor to the subsequent Resident Evil exploits.
