Evaluation
Resident Evil 0 is a remastered edition of the classic 2002 GameCube title, released on Steam on January 19, 2016. The game launched as a complete package, including the full remastered campaign, an enhanced visual and audio presentation, and a bonus unlockable mode (Wesker Mode) that was announced during pre-release promotion in September 2015. All six DLC packs — five costume packs and one T-shirt cosmetic — were released on launch day (January 19, 2016) or the day after (January 20, 2016), with none remaining unreleased. There is no history of post-launch content updates, no announced roadmap, and no ongoing seasonal or monetized content structure. The most recent developer communication was a January 24, 2022 maintenance notice about dropping Windows 7 support — a routine technical housekeeping post with no content implications. This is a self-contained, single-purchase remaster that shipped complete and has received no post-launch content additions.

About this game
Be prepared to relive the first nightmare in Resident Evil 0, a remastered version of the popular prequel to the original Resident Evil game. This remastered version takes the fear-inducing atmosphere from the original 2002 release and transforms it with stunning new HD visuals, improved sound, widescreen support and an optional modernized control system and more. It’s the best way to experience the story of what really happened before the iconic mansion incident that was the catalyst for the entire Resident Evil saga.
The story of Resident Evil 0 takes players back to 1998. Reports have been mounting about unusual murders on the outskirts of Raccoon City. The city’s Special Forces division, S.T.A.R.S., sends their Bravo Team - including rookie cop member Rebecca Chambers - to investigate. On route, the team’s helicopter suffers engine trouble and is forced to make a crash landing, where they find an overturned prisoner transport vehicle. Splitting up to search the area, Rebecca discovers the Ecliptic Express, a train stopped dead on the tracks. Inside, she meets death row convict and ex-Navy lieutenant Billy Coen. Throughout the game, you will take control of both Rebecca and Billy, at times switching between both characters in order to proceed. Learning the advantages of each character is the key to solving puzzles and surviving the nightmares that lie ahead.
