Leaker claims Resident Evil: Code Veronica Remake will be announced this year

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. With RE4 being the latest entry in the series to receive the remake treatment, many fans have wondered which entry is next-in-line. According to a known Capcom insider, a remake for Resident Evil Code Veronica is currently in the works – with plans to officially announce it “later this year.”

Taking to Twitter, known Capcom leaker DuskGolem commented on recent rumours suggesting that following RE4, Resident Evil 5 will be next in line to be remade, writing:

“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.”

As mentioned, DuskGolem has accurately leaked plenty of Capcom games in the past – especially Resident Evil – and so it is safe to assume that this is the publisher’s current plan.

Of course, things could change, but with Code Veronica being a PS2 generation title and RE5 originally releasing on the PS3 / Xbox 360, one would clearly benefit more from a remake when compared to the other.

That said, all eyes right now are on the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem, and so don’t expect to hear from this remake officially until RE9 is released at the very least.
