Capcom Readies Resident Evil: Code Veronica Remake Announcement for 2026
Capcom fans can celebrate: the storied publisher is reportedly set to unveil a highly anticipated Resident Evil: Code Veronica remake later this year.
The news, with growing traction across the gaming community, follows a recent statement by Dusk Golem (AestheticGamer), a reliable voice with a long record of accurate Resident Evil insider information.
The rumored project aims to join the likes of Capcom's celebrated remakes of Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4, as the developer capitalizes on the enduring legacy of its survival horror franchise. Dusk Golem addressed speculation on social media this week, clarifying, "There is not a new Resident Evil 5 Remake announcement coming this year.
Instead, later this year, an RE Remake that starts with 'C' and ends with '(ode Veronica)' will be announced.
I can assure you of that." This comment comes in response to recent online chatter, ignited after Eva La Dare—the original voice of Sheva Alomar from Resident Evil 5—hinted at upcoming projects using Resident Evil-related hashtags on Twitter.
Dusk Golem was clear: Resident Evil 5 is not the focus, and fans should turn their attention to Resident Evil: Code Veronica. Resident Evil: Code Veronica originally debuted on Sega Dreamcast in 2000, continuing the harrowing story of Claire Redfield (first seen in Resident Evil 2) along with her brother Chris Redfield, a central figure from the franchise’s debut entry.
Beloved for its atmospheric tension, memorable characters, and intricate story expansion, Code Veronica has been frequently cited by fans as a “must-remake” title.
Up to now, Capcom has enjoyed immense critical and commercial success with its modernized versions of earlier entries, sparking ongoing demand and speculation about future remakes within the franchise. Meanwhile, the Resident Evil universe continues to expand.
Capcom recently showcased Resident Evil Requiem, the series’ next mainline installment, during its latest Resident Evil Showcase.
The presentation highlighted new gameplay mechanics, including a blood-based crafting system and the return of classic ink ribbons.
Resident Evil Requiem is slated to launch next month, further fueling excitement in the community as Capcom approaches Resident Evil’s 30th anniversary, to be celebrated with the ‘Symphony of Legacy’ concert tour across North America, Europe, and Japan. As anticipation builds for the official announcement of Resident Evil: Code Veronica Remake, Capcom’s strategic revitalization of the franchise remains a driving force in the industry.
Players can continue finding the Resident Evil series across major platforms, including the Nintendo Switch and eShop, furthering accessibility to both newcomers and longtime fans.
Stay tuned for more updates as Capcom prepares to add another chapter to the storied Resident Evil legacy.
