For years, Resident Evil fans have been asking the same question: “When is Code Veronica getting a remake?” At Summer Game Fest 2026, Capcom finally delivered the answer.
Resident Evil Veronica is officially in development and scheduled to release in 2027, bringing one of the franchise’s most important stories into the modern era. While Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 have all received the remake treatment, many fans viewed Code Veronica as the missing piece of the puzzle.
Originally released in 2000, the game follows Claire Redfield as she continues her search for her brother, Chris Redfield, after the events of Resident Evil 2. What begins as a rescue mission quickly spirals into another nightmare involving Umbrella, the Ashford family, and the return of Albert Wesker, whose role would go on to shape the future of the series. This game was one of the amazing titles playable on the Dreamcast.
Capcom’s reveal trailer didn’t give away much, but it did confirm that the game is being rebuilt using the RE Engine and is targeting a 2027 release window. That’s enough to get longtime fans excited.
What makes this announcement so significant isn’t just the remake itself. It’s the fact that Veronica is one of the most important chapters in Resident Evil lore. For players who started with Resident Evil 7, Village, or the recent remakes, this is a chance to experience a story that helped bridge the gap between the classic survival horror era and the action-heavy years that followed.
After years of rumors, wish lists, and fan campaigns, Capcom is finally giving Veronica its moment. And judging by the reaction online, it’s safe to say this was one remake fans weren’t going to stop asking for.
