Capcom is developing a remake of the 2000 game Resident Evil Code Veronica, now titled Resident Evil Veronica [1, 3].
The announcement marks a significant step in Capcom's ongoing effort to modernize its legacy horror titles. By updating the gameplay and graphics of a fan favorite, the company aims to bridge the gap between classic survival horror and contemporary gaming standards.
Producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi said the project was introduced during the Summer Game Fest 2026 in Los Angeles, California [1, 2]. The remake seeks to integrate updated lore and modern graphics into the experience of the original cult classic [2, 3].
While some reports suggest a 2026 window, other sources said the game is slated for a 2027 release [2, 4]. The title is expected to launch on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and the Switch 2 [4].
This project follows the pattern of previous successful remakes in the series, focusing on the return of characters such as Claire Redfield [5]. The development team said it intends to refine the original mechanics while maintaining the atmosphere that defined the early 2000s era of horror gaming [2, 3].
