Discover a Cursed Forest on Your Bike in ‘Vicious Cycle’ [Trailer]

Famous Resident Evil leaker AestheticGamer aka Nightfall Golem is again with one other attention-grabbing set of rumours, this time involving Resident Evil Zero. Not solely is there renewed hypothesis of a remake of the 2002 GameCube title, but additionally a possible movie adaptation from Display screen Gems/Constantin Movies.

As all the time, take these bits together with your regular dose of sodium chloride.

Taking to X, Nightfall Golem mentions that it’s his hypothesis that with Display screen Gems/Constantin Movies having a contract that with the intention to retain the rights to Resident Evil for movies, they would want to crank out a movie each 5 years. The earlier movie was 2021’s Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon Metropolis (which didn’t precisely set the field workplace on fireplace), which means that the following movie would must be launched earlier than fiscal yr 2026.

Which brings us to the following little bit of hypothesis in that the movie, which is rumoured to be directed by Zach Cregger (Barbarian), might be Resident Evil Zero, which is able to give attention to Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen and their discovery of the origins of the T-Virus. That every one in flip results in the successor for the Nintendo Swap, which is rumoured to be releasing subsequent yr. Nightfall Golem feels that Capcom will attempt to strike an exclusivity cope with Nintendo with a remake of RE0, just like what Sony has achieved with previous titles that ultimately noticed launch on different consoles.

This feeds into earlier rumours involving Resident Evil Zero being one of many titles within the collection that Capcom is at the moment remaking.

The entire goal of this, as Nightfall Golem says, is to rejoice the franchise’s thirtieth anniversary: Tying the “starting of the saga” with a movie adaptation and a remake to the current, and the eventual launch of Resident Evil 9, which (shock!) is imagined to be coming in 2026.

Once more, all of that is pure hypothesis, and none of this has been confirmed by Capcom. Nonetheless, it’s form of enjoyable to consider what Capcom will do. Plus, Resident Evil Zero does should get a little bit of redemption after 20+ years.

Because of Twisted Voxel for recognizing this one.
