The survival horror community is buzzing following reports that Capcom is preparing to officially unveil its next major remake project later this year. According to noted industry insider Dusk Golem, fans can expect a modern reimagining of the cult classic Resident Evil: Code Veronica.

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 "(ode Veronica)" is going to be announced, I promise you.

This news follows previous leaks suggesting that both Code Veronica and Resident Evil Zero are currently in active development. Given the massive commercial and critical success of the recent Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 remakes, Capcom appears committed to updating its classic library for modern hardware.

Why Code Veronica Matters

Originally debuting on the SEGA Dreamcast in 2000, Resident Evil: Code Veronica holds a special place in the franchise’s history. Unlike the numbered entries of that era, it was the first title to move away from pre-rendered backgrounds in favor of full 3D environments.

Key Story Details:

• Protagonists: Features the iconic sibling duo, Claire and Chris Redfield.
• Setting: Primarily takes place on Rockfort Island, a remote prison facility owned by the Umbrella Corporation.
• Legacy: Produced by series creator Shinji Mikami, it is often considered by fans to be the “true” sequel to Resident Evil 2.

What’s Next for the Resident Evil Franchise?

While the Code Veronica remake is expected to be revealed soon, Capcom has an even busier year ahead. The next mainline installment, titled Resident Evil: Requiem, is currently slated for a February 2026 launch.
