What’s Next for Resident Evil in 2025?

Resident Evil is heading for a classic year in 2025 with expectations of games, movies and hardware tie-ups emerging from the shadows. Leaked rumors from industry insider Dusk Golem consist a remake of Resident Evil Zero, a new movie, and dealings with the Nintendo’s future console.

A New Resident Evil Film by Zach Cregger

According to rumours, Screen Gems and Constantin Films are working to make a new Resident Evil film to keep the licence, with the deadline of the release before the end of the financial year 2026. The forthcoming adaptation directed by Zach Cregger is also reportedly based on Resident Evil Zero game, which is about Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen.

This would clearly be a move toward greater consonance with the games, perhaps improving fan interaction by going back to the roots of the franchise.

Resident Evil Zero Remake: Could These Games Be A Launch Title for Nintendo’s Switch Successor?

The company might be linking the next major Resident Evil project to Nintendo’s upcoming Switch successor console. Speculations also make the rounds that Resident Evil Zero remake could be launched as a flagship title since the company has had strong previous alliances with Nintendo.

Capcom had an experience with Resident Evil when it released the game at the time of the new hardware. If so, this might have been the best way to promote the game and pay homage to the series in the lead up to its 30th anniversary.

Resident Evil 9 and the “Saga Celebration”

One more layer in the context of 2025 is the rumored game – Resident Evil 9. Speculation hints at Capcom thematically linking RE:0 and RE9 that represents beginning and ending of the saga. Such a double drop might provide a unified birthday kind of event for the franchise history, something the old school fans would also enjoy as well as the new comers.

What to Expect in 2025

• A New Film Adaptation: Zach Cregger’s Resident Evil: Zero can alter the future of the Resident Evil film adaptations.

• Switch Successor Collaboration: This might just work if Capcom can successfully launch a Resident Evil Zero remake alongside Nintendo’s next home console.

• 30th Anniversary Celebration: The simultaneous release of RE:0 and RE9 would also fit into Capcom’s plan to pay respect to the franchise.

Conclusion

The year 2025 looks like a landmark year for Resident Evil in terms of possible developments in both game and movie. For the fan or for the new comer interested in these changes then the upcoming projects could reshape the series for the years to come.
