Fans of Capcom’s survival-horror franchise might be in for a nostalgic revival soon. According to recent rumours, Resident Evil Zero is reportedly getting a full remake that’s targeting a 2028 release window. It may even feature an actor from the Guardians of the Galaxy video game.
A New Resident Evil Remake on the Horizon
While Capcom hasn’t officially announced anything, the rumor has spread across several gaming communities and media outlets. The alleged Resident Evil Zero Remake is said to be in the early stages of development, aligning with Capcom’s ongoing trend of reimagining classic titles from its legendary horror franchise.
The remake will likely follow Capcom’s recent remake model, offering modernized visuals, reworked gameplay mechanics, and potentially new story elements, similar to the RE 2, 3, and 4 remakes.
Guardians of the Galaxy Actor Reportedly Involved
The most intriguing part of the leak involves casting. One of the actors from Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy video game will be part of the upcoming Resident Evil Zero Remake. While the specific role hasn’t been confirmed, fans speculate it could involve either the protagonist Billy Coen or Rebecca Chambers, both central to the 2002 original.
No official statement has been made by either Capcom or the rumored actor involved, but the crossover has sparked major excitement among both Resident Evil and Marvel fans.
Reddit Buzz and Fan Reactions
The leak was first discussed widely on Reddit and X by fans. Many debated Capcom’s remake timeline and future plans for the series.
(4/4) a remake of Resident Evil Zero & Code Veronica in development right now.
I’ve talked to many others behind the scenes about this at this point, it’s something I heard over a year ago, think it was going to get out whether I was the one to say it or not, & that’s about it.

Some Reddit users pointed out that an insider previously hinted that Resident Evil Code: Veronica could launch before Zero. Possibly in early 2027, followed by the Zero remake in 2028. This timeline aligns with Capcom’s steady release cycle for major remakes every one to two years.
Take It with Caution
As of now, Capcom has not officially confirmed any remake of Resident Evil Zero. However, given the success of its previous remakes, fans can expect more classic titles to receive the modern treatment in the years ahead.
If true, Resident Evil Zero Remake could mark another milestone for the franchise. It can bring back one of the most underrated entries in Capcom’s horror legacy.
