- New details about a potential Resident Evil 0 remake have emerged
- The game is under the working name ‘Project Chamber’
- It is reportedly targeting a 2028 release window
New details on a potential remake of Resident Evil 0 has appeared, with the project apparently bearing the working title ‘Projektkammer’.
As reported by MP1st, sources close to the business have revealed details about the potential remake’s casting, expanded story and release window. The name ‘Projektkammer’ is probably also derived from Resident Evil 0 protagonist Rebecca Chambers, with events set just before her arrival in the original Resident Evil’s Spencer Mansion.
According to MP1st, the name ‘Project Chamber’ first appeared on the CV of actor Jon McLaren, although it appears to have since been removed. So definitely take this bit of info with a grain of salt. McLaren’s most notable video game role was Star-Lord in Square Enix’s guardians of the galaxy, although he also provided some voice work for Far cry 5.
The Resident Evil 0 the remake’s motion capture is reportedly being handled at Beyond Capture Studios. It’s the same company that Capcom worked with on mocap for other RE Engine titles including Street Fighter 6 and that Resident Evil 4 replay. McLaren’s potential role is not known yet, but the most likely candidate would be Billy Coen, Resident Evil 0s common protagonist.
Not much is known about the potential remake’s revamped plot. But MP1st mentions that some new characters will be introduced. Resident Evil 0 begins on a train that has crashed due to the zombie outbreak. In the remake, a new character will be the train’s conductor, according to the outlet. It sounds like they won’t have a particularly significant role, but it is noted that at one point they will lock Rebecca in a room full of zombies in order to escape.
Finally, according to insider DuskGolem on X/Twitter, the Resident Evil 0 the remake is apparently aiming for a 2028 release. So a long way off, but we could see another remake before then in the form of Resident Evil: Code Veronica. DuskGolem mentions that this remake is targeting a Q1 2027 release, so about a year after next year’s Resident Evil Requiem.
