There are conflicting rumours around Resident Evil 9, but one insider is adamant about what the next remake will be. Resident Evil 9 might be officially in the works but Capcom has yet to say anything about it or even to confirm it is the next Resident Evil game, which isn’t a given considering how successful 2023’s Resident Evil 4 remake was.

Capcom has now run out of obvious games to remake and while Resident Evil 5 would be the logical next choice, chronologically speaking, rumours suggest Capcom is remaking more obscure entries Resident Evil Code: Veronica and Resident Evil Zero – although there’s previously been no indication of which might come first.

The same insider who made those initial claims has now provided an answer to that question, and it seems Resident Evil Zero fans might have reason to celebrate. When asked about the subject on X, known Resident Evil insider Dusk Golem replied unambiguously: ‘Zero is the next remake.’.
Resident Evil Zero is a prequel to the 1996 classic, which features two protagonists, in S.T.A.R.S. medic Rebecca Chambers and convict Billy Coen. The main gimmick of the game is the ability to switch between both characters to solve puzzles. The game received a HD remaster in 2016, which only highlighted the fact that the game hasn’t aged very well and was always one of the lesser entries in the franchise.
