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
