Capcom revealed a remake of the 2000 game Resident Evil: Code Veronica during the Summer Game Fest livestream on June 4, 2026 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. The new version, renamed Resident Evil: Veronica, is set for release in 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2 [1].
The remake follows Claire Redfield’s quest to find her brother Chris after the events of Raccoon City, adhering closely to the original story which also features antagonist Albert Wesker [1, 2, 5]. The first-person perspective returns for this title, consistent with recent entries in the Resident Evil franchise [1, 4].
The trailer for Resident Evil: Veronica includes a scene set in a Parisian apartment where Claire encounters an elderly French woman who helps escort her but shows no malicious intent [1, 2, 4, 5]. There is some speculation that the remake may incorporate limited third-person gameplay elements, similar to Resident Evil Requiem, though this has not been confirmed [4].
Originally released for the Sega Dreamcast in 2000, Resident Evil: Code Veronica is regarded as a classic title in the series [2, 4, 5]. Reports from IGN noted the remake was previously rumored, with a tentative release planned for early 2027 before its official announcement [2].
Tom Phillips, IGN News Editor, said, “Capcom has revealed a Resident Evil: Code Veronica remake, just named Resident Evil Veronica, delighting fans of the franchise watching this year’s Summer Game Fest livestream.” [2]
The remake is scheduled to launch sometime in 2027 across several major gaming platforms [1, 2, 3, 4, 5].
