Capcom Unity announces plans for an enhanced version of
Resident Evil 0,
saying an updated edition of the survival/horror prequel is coming to Windows
and consoles next year. A
video message from the producers introduces the project in Japanese, though
there are English subtitles. Here's word:
It's hard to mention the
Resident Evil REmake without also discussing Resident Evil 0, a similarly
harrowing adventure that takes place just before the momentous Mansion Incident.
Both titles sported great visuals, classic survival horror tension and a huge
community backing - two modern classics, for sure!
Given all those prior accolades and the game's enduring quality, we're proud to
confirm RE0 will receive a modern update similar to this year's enhanced REmake
and release early next year on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC!,
The dev team - including Koji Oda, RE Zero's original director - is hard at work
on RE Zero, but took some time away from their screens to record this personal
message. You might say RE producer Hirabayashi-san is "passing the torch," but
instead of a torch it's a... well just watch the video :P
