“Resident Evil: Veronica,” a remake of the 2000 “Resident Evil” game “Code: Veronica,” will be released by Capcom next year.
The original “Resident Evil – Code Veronica” took place three months after the events of 1998’s “Resident Evil 2” and concurrently with 1999’s “Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.”
The story follows “Resident Evil” characters Claire Redfield and her brother Chris Redfield as they try to survive a viral outbreak at a remote prison island in the Southern Ocean and a research facility in Antarctica.
The new survival horror game “Resident Evil: Veronica” will revisit the classic title from the “Resident Evil” franchise while aiming to reimagine the experience for new players, per Capcom’s description.
Capcom’s last “Resident Evil” game was “Resident Evil Requiem,” the franchise’s ninth mainline title. That game, which debuted back in February, followed new character, FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft. Grace investigates a series of mysterious deaths involving the survivors of the Raccoon City incident with help from returning “Resident Evil” franchise character, federal agent Leon S. Kennedy.
“Resident Evil: Veronica” was announced out of the Summer Game Fest presentation Friday, which live-streamed from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. It was among the splashiest reveals alongside Paramount Games Studio’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin.”
