Capcom Continues Resident Evil Momentum with Code Veronica Remake Rumors
In recent years, Capcom has seen resounding success with its flagship Resident Evil franchise, both in revitalizing classic entries through high-quality remakes and delivering new experiences for fans of survival horror.
The next chapter, Resident Evil Requiem, is confirmed to release on February 27, 2026, for current generation platforms, including the Nintendo Switch.
As the game’s launch approaches, credible news signals that Capcom isn’t slowing down, with a remake of Resident Evil: Code Veronica reportedly set for a formal announcement later this year. Veteran industry insider Dusk Golem, well-known for accurately reporting Capcom's internal plans, revealed through social media that a new Resident Evil remake is on the horizon.
While fans had speculated about a potential Resident Evil 5 remake, Dusk Golem clarified that the next remake will focus entirely on Code Veronica, a title many hold in mainline status despite its original naming.
Dusk Golem’s statement reads, "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 with 'ode Veronica' is going to be announced, I promise you." Resident Evil: Code Veronica originally debuted in 2000 and has long been considered a cult favorite due to its narrative depth and connection to the franchise’s core storyline.
Calls for a modern remake have persisted as Capcom’s previous remakes—Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4—set new benchmarks within the genre.
The upcoming revitalization is expected to harness contemporary gameplay mechanics and enhanced visuals, aligning it with recent series entries. This news arrives amid heightened anticipation for Resident Evil Requiem, which Capcom has recently showcased in detail.
The latest gameplay demonstrations highlighted notable differences between the title’s protagonists, Grace Ashcroft and Leon Kennedy.
It has also been confirmed that players desiring added difficulty will be able to engage classic mechanics, such as utilizing Ink Ribbons to save progress during Grace’s campaign. Rumors regarding a Resident Evil 5 remake gained traction after Eva La Dare, the voice behind Sheva Alomar, mentioned new projects related to the franchise.
However, current information from established sources refocuses attention on Code Veronica as Capcom’s next major remake project. With Resident Evil Requiem's release drawing near and a Code Veronica remake now circulating as a confirmed announcement for 2026, Capcom continues to reinforce its dominance in survival horror and commitment to delivering unforgettable experiences across platforms, including the Nintendo Switch and eShop.
Gamers and industry watchers alike will be paying close attention to Capcom’s next moves and official announcements throughout the year.
