Capcom has officially announced a remake of Resident Evil: Code Veronica for modern platforms, including Nintendo’s upcoming Switch 2, with a release scheduled for 2027.
The announcement was made during the Summer Game Fest 2026 showcase, where a reveal trailer was presented to audiences worldwide.
Background and legacy
Originally developed and published by Capcom for Sega’s Dreamcast in 2000, Resident Evil: Code Veronica followed Claire and Chris Redfield in one of the series’ more expansive story entries.
The game was later updated and re-released as Code Veronica X on GameCube and other platforms; that expanded edition added new cutscenes and additional story material.
Capcom’s decision to revisit Code Veronica follows the company’s modern reworkings of other mainline entries — the Resident Evil 2 remake (2019), Resident Evil 3 remake (2020), and Resident Evil 4 remake (2023) — each rebuilt with contemporary visuals and gameplay systems.
Reveal details and developer intent
The remake was first shown during Summer Game Fest 2026.
Geoff Keighley, speaking after the trailer, described the project as an effort to bring a classic entry in the Resident Evil universe up to modern standards.
Put plainly, Keighley said Capcom aims to modernize Code Veronica and make the experience accessible to today’s players while preserving the original’s narrative and atmosphere.
Platforms and availability
Capcom confirmed the remake will arrive on multiple modern platforms and explicitly listed Nintendo Switch 2 among the targets for the 2027 launch window.
Capcom’s prior remakes (RE2, RE3, RE4) have not been released for Switch 2 as of the Summer Game Fest reveal.
Specific distribution details such as pricing or eShop listing dates have not been provided by Capcom at this time.
What to watch next
Capcom is expected to release further information — gameplay demos, platform-specific features, and release-date precision — in the coming months.
For Nintendo-focused audiences, confirmation of Switch 2 support is a notable development given the historical importance of Code Veronica’s Dreamcast and GameCube origins.
This announcement marks another major entry in Capcom’s ongoing effort to remaster and remake legacy Resident Evil titles for a new generation of hardware.
