Capcom's survival horror classic "Resident Evil 0" has been remastered and added with new featuring including new gameplay modes and silly costumes for Rebecca Chambers and her partner Billy Coen.

"Resident Evil 0" HD Remaster comes after the successful release of "Resident Evil" HD Remaster that was released for new gen consoles Xbox One, PS4 and PC this year. The remastered game comes with improved graphics and control as gamers play as Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen. One of the most notable new features for the upcoming game is that it allows players to play the game as Albert Wesker, the series antagonist.

According to Cinema Blend, playing in Wesker Mode means access to cool new powers that he has gotten from more recent "Resident Evil" games. In the trailer, Wesker seems to have lightning speed and shoot lasers from his eyes which make battling zombies much easier. This mode should appeal to veteran players as it provides a new POV and gameplay experience.

Watch the trailer below:

"Resident Evil 0" is known as "Biohazard 0" in Japan and was originally published for the Nintendo GameCube in 2002. It is a prequel to the first game in the series and features S.T.A.R.S.' Bravo Team who has been sent to the Arklay Mountains to investigate a series of murders. It has a unique "partner zapping" system which allows players to control either Rebecca or Billy instead of choosing one of them at the beginning. Players can control both at the same time or split them to explore other areas.

For players who preorder the game, they will receive exclusive in-game costumes for the two protagonists. Rebecca will have a cheerleading outfit with the word CAPCOM emblazoned at the front of her top while Billy will wear a Wolf Force armor, according to Techno Buffalo. According to Games Radar, Rebecca's cheerleader uniform was first seen in "Resident Evil: Deadly Silence" which is a Nintendo DS game. Billy's outfit is supposed to reference "Mercs," a 1990 shooter game.

The preorders are ongoing and the bonus costumes are available on all consoles and platforms except the Xbox 360.

"Resident Evil 0" HD Remaster will be out on PlayStatopm 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC on Jan. 19 for $19.99. On Jan. 22, a physical version of this game will be bundled with "Resident Evil HD Remaster" to be released as the "Resident Evil Origins" collection. It will be available for $39.99 and will be exclusive to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
