Resident Evil — Code: Veronica and Zero Remakes Leak as Resident Evil 9 "Requiem" Rumors Heat Up

With Resident Evil, Capcom has recently done an amazing job of bringing an old series back to life. With modern graphics, better controls, and a cinematic intensity that makes every moment more intense, the company carefully rebuilt Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4 from the ground up.

People around the world have bought millions of copies of these remakes, and they've also gotten good reviews. Capcom has shown that its approach works by bringing old stories back to life for new audiences and renewing nostalgia for long-time fans. The next chapter may be even more interesting.

Multiple trustworthy sources now say that Resident Evil  — Code: Veronica and Resident Evil Zero are going to be remade. According to a reliable source, this information about Resident Evil has been leaked before and has been correct. He's not making these claims without evidence; trade publications like IGN and VGC backup the information.

According to reports, both games are well into production, and they might come out in 2027 or 2028. According to Capcom, the projects have not been officially confirmed yet; they have only said that more remakes are on the way.

Although it takes place 24 hours before the events of the first Resident Evil game, Resident Evil Zero has its own place in the series' storyline. Watch as Rebecca Chambers of the S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team and Billy Coen, a wanted criminal with a shady past, find out where the T-Virus spread started in the Arklay Mountains.

In its original release in 2002 for the Nintendo GameCube, Zero introduced the "partner zapping" mechanic, which let players switch between characters instantly to solve riddles and fight enemies. This was also the last mainline game with pre-rendered backgrounds before the series switched to fully 3D settings.

As a technical and visual step forward for the series, Resident Evil  — Code: Veronica, which came out in 2000 on the Sega Dreamcast, did away with static backgrounds in favor of fully 3D environments. Following Claire Redfield's capture by Umbrella and imprisonment on a remote island three months after Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3, the story of the game begins.

Due to the outbreak, the jail becomes a complete mess, which ultimately requires a dramatic move to a facility in Antarctica. However, Code: Veronica never got a full remake—only small re-releases and improvements—even though it got good reviews and a lot of dedicated fans. This is why its possible return is so highly anticipated.

Leaks don't stop with remakes. Additionally, more information has been given about Resident Evil 9, which is said to be called Resident Evil Requiem. According to rumors, this new game will wrap up the plot that began in Resident Evil 7 and grew in Resident Evil Village. Different timelines may be explored in future mainline entries, which would allow for new storylines and places. The next game in the series, Resident Evil 10, is already being planned and is expected to come out around 2029 or 2030. It will likely be a full-fledged main entry instead of a spin-off.

Remaking Resident Evil Zero, on the other hand, has hit some problems. Capcom is said to have started complete development over at one point, which, along with delays in Resident Evil 9, pushed both games' releases back even further. There was a time when Resident Evil 9 was going to be an open-world multiplayer game, but the studio changed their minds and decided to make it a standard survival horror game instead, keeping the series' atmospheric tension and story-focused focus.

Regarding Requiem's story, rumors say that Capcom is hiding a big plot twist that will surprise even the most experienced players. If the information is correct, this secrecy suggests that one of the most memorable reveals in the series is being kept secret on purpose.

As of now, Capcom's survival horror empire has two long-awaited remakes, a mainline game that ends a story, and plans to keep growing for the next ten years. Along with endings and new beginnings, the next few years will see a lot of titles that push the limits of mood, story, and fear. The next age of Resident Evil may be the scariest yet, both for people who have been through the series' dark hallways before and for people who are brave enough to enter them for the first time.
