Insider offers additional details on unannounced Resident Evil: Code Veronica Remake

Capcom has long been a fan of remaking its classic titles, with the Resident Evil series in particular seeing various remakes/re-imaginings over the years. Following the release of RE4 Remake, insiders have claimed that the lesser-appreciated Code Veronica is next in line for such a treatment – with additional details having now been shared.

Last week, known Capcom leaker DuskGolem commented on recent rumours suggesting that following RE4, Resident Evil 5 will be next in line to be remade, writing at the time:

“No, there is NOT a Resident Evil 5 Remake that's going to be announced this year. Instead, later this year a RE Remake that starts with ‘(C)’ & ends ‘(ode Veronica)’ is going to be announced, I promise you.”

Since then, another insider has offered additional details on this Code Veronica remake, with NateTheHate taking to Twitter to ‘confirm’: “Yes, Code Veronica is being remade & deep in development. Target of release is first half 2027.”

Assuming this to be true, Capcom is planning to announce the Resident Evil Code Veronica Remake some time later this year, with a release date then set for the first half of 2027.

Ever since the franchise saw a major resurgence with the release of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard in 2017, Capcom has kept to its RE releases being early on in the year, with 2021’s RE Village being the only title to launch later than April.

Assuming they continue with their current release strategy, expect there to be only a few months in-between the remake’s official announcement and release.
