The Resident Evil 0 Remake was restarted partway through development and is now in the hands of Capcom Division 1, the studio’s flagship team behind its mainline entries, according to well-known Resident Evil insider Dusk Golem. The claim, made on 12 June 2026, suggests the project was taken off the team that had originally led it after hitting trouble.
Dusk Golem’s Claim
The detail surfaced when Dusk Golem replied to a comment about the 0 Remake being handled by the Resident Evil 3 Remake team, stating that the project had been “rebooted mid-dev.” Following that reboot, the insider said, the remake is being led by “Capcom Div 1.” As an insider claim rather than an official announcement, it should be treated with caution until Capcom comments.
It got rebooted mid-dev & Capcom Div 1 is currently leading it post reboot.

Who Capcom Division 1 Is
Capcom Division 1, led by Jun Takeuchi, is the company’s flagship development team responsible for its mainline AAA releases across series such as Resident Evil, Devil May Cry and Dragon’s Dogma. Moving the 0 Remake under that team would mark a significant step up from the Resident Evil 3 Remake group that reportedly started the project.
Where the RE0 Remake Fits
Rumours of a Resident Evil 0 Remake have circulated for some time, alongside talk of a Code Veronica Remake. Code Veronica has since been officially revealed, while the 0 Remake has appeared to run into development challenges, which the reboot claim would help explain. The original Resident Evil 0 launched in 2002 and received a remaster in 2016. Previous rumours have pointed to Resident Evil: Veronica arriving in 2027, with 2028 reserved for the Zero Remake.
If that rumoured cadence holds, the rebuilt Resident Evil 0 Remake would land in 2028 after Code Veronica in 2027, though Capcom has confirmed neither the reboot nor any release window.
