Capcom Is Remaking Resident Evil Code Veronica, the One Fans Have Begged For Since 2000

After years of fans practically filing petitions, Capcom used Summer Game Fest to confirm Resident Evil Veronica, a full remake of 2000's Code Veronica, coming to PS5, Xbox Series X, Switch 2 and PC in 2027. The fandom has wanted this since flip phones were cutting edge, and Capcom, riding the goodwill of the RE2, RE3 and RE4 remakes, finally blinked.

It is, on paper, the safest bet Capcom owns. The remake formula is proven, Code Veronica is the obvious gap in the lineup, and Claire Redfield deserves the modern treatment. The only real question is whether Capcom treats this as a loving rebuild or a box ticking cash in on a formula that is starting to show its mileage. Even great formulas curdle if you run them too many times.

And then, the eternal Capcom move, it is 2027. So you get the announcement now and the actual game much later, which means another year of fan theories, leak hunting and arguments about whether they will finally fix the original's endless backtracking. Classic.
