The Next Big Resident Evil Remake Is Code Veronica

The next big Resident Evil remake isn’t Resident Evil 5. Nope! Today at Summer Game Fest, Capcom announced that it is remaking Resident Evil: Code Veronica. And it is out in 2027.

In the trailer released during the event, the game seems to be first-person. We see Claire Redfield entering a Paris hotel where her brother, Chris, is staying before being grabbed by someone. The game is simply called Resident Evil: Veronica. 

For many Resident Evil fans, Code Veronica is the true Resident Evil 3. It’s set a few months after Resident Evil 2 and was released in 2000 for the Sega Dreamcast. It follows Claire and Chris Redfield as they deal with a virus spreading outside Raccoon City. It was the first Resident Evil game that debuted on a non-PlayStation console, and it also did a lot to expand the scope of the franchise. It’s a very important game, but one which has sometimes felt like a forgotten stepchild. That changes now that, following lots of rumors and fan pleading, Capcom has announced that it is remaking Resident Evil: Code Veronica from the ground up.

It’s the latest Resident Evil remake from Capcom, a publisher that has been on a roll recently. Will this be another big hit for the company? In any case, a lot of Resident Evil sickos are super happy to see Code Veronica finally getting the love it deserves.

Resident Evil: Veronica is launching on consoles and PC in 2027.
