Capcom has officially announced a full remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica for the Nintendo Switch 2, with the game slated to launch in 2027.
The remake revives one of the series' early entries — originally released on Sega's Dreamcast in 2000 and later ported to the Nintendo GameCube — and represents Capcom's continued investment in reimagining classic Resident Evil titles for modern platforms.
Background and context
Resident Evil Code: Veronica first debuted in 2000 on the Dreamcast and was subsequently released on the GameCube.
Capcom has built a clear pattern of modern remakes across its flagship horror franchise, including the critically acclaimed Resident Evil 2 remake (2019), Resident Evil 3 remake (2020), and the Resident Evil 4 remake (2023).
The newly announced project for Nintendo Switch 2 is described by Capcom as a full remake rather than a simple remaster.
What Capcom announced
Capcom confirmed that the remake is in development specifically for Nintendo Switch 2 and has set a target release year of 2027.
In plain terms, the developer has committed to rebuilding Code: Veronica for the next-generation Nintendo hardware and has publicly set 2027 as the launch window for that effort.
Industry relevance
This announcement is notable for several reasons: it brings a high-profile Resident Evil remake to Nintendo's next console generation, continues Capcom's recent successful remake strategy, and expands the franchise's availability on Nintendo platforms in a new form.
Capcom's track record with Resident Evil remakes has delivered both commercial success and critical recognition, reinforcing the studio's capacity to modernize legacy titles.
