Relive Chapter ‘Zero’ In The Latest ‘Resident Evil’ Remaster!

Today, the Resident Evil 0 remaster is available on the PlayStation Store (both PS3 and PS4), as well as the Xbox 360 and Xbox One marketplace!

This chilling tale of what happens before the first Resident Evil, following Rebecca Chambers–a member of S.T.A.R.S, in the first noted instance of a zombie sighting in the Resident Evil world!  It also sheds some light on the backstories of William Birkin and Albert Wesker, two of the main antagonists of the Resident Evil series.  Although Resident Evil 0 has been ported many times, this would be the first time that the game has been remastered in HD from top to bottom.  It also includes an extra never-before-seen mode, Wesker mode, which allows you to use an overpowered “Ouroboros virus” enhanced Wesker, although it isn’t mentioned whether he’s used for the main game or side missions.  It has also been announced that this mode is non-canon, designed simply for the pure thrill of annihilating everything in sight with an overpowered Wesker!

This exciting prequel is available for download today at $19.99, or available in the Resident Evil Origins Collection, only available at retail locations for $39.99. The Resident Evil Origins Collection also includes the HD remaster of the first Resident Evil game, which is the game that helped bolster the survival horror genre to new heights!  It is also worth noting that the Resident Evil HD remaster was released on January 20, 2015, almost exactly a year before today.  Who knows?  Maybe we’ll be seeing another RE remaster next year, around the same time.
