Capcom announced a remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica, titled Resident Evil Veronica, at Summer Game Fest on June 11, 2026 [1]. The remake will be treated as a mainline numbered Resident Evil entry and will receive a modernization similar to the Resident Evil 2 and 4 remakes [1].
Despite showing first-person segments in its reveal trailer, Resident Evil Veronica will play primarily in third-person view like the Resident Evil 2 remake [1]. Unlike Resident Evil Requiem, it likely will not offer an option to switch perspectives during gameplay [1].
The storyline centers on Claire Redfield, picking up three months after the Raccoon City incident. The remake promises additional character development for Claire compared to the Resident Evil 2 remake [1]. The trailer suggests a creepier tone, featuring Claire entering a Parisian hostel and expanding previously brief sequences into fully playable ones [2].
The original Resident Evil Code: Veronica, released in 2000, is regarded as a key but somewhat dated and clunky installment in the series [2]. Its plot included controversial elements, such as the Ashford siblings’ dissociative identity disorder, cross-dressing, and incestuous themes [2]. Some fans found the original game’s companion character, Steve Burnside, to be annoying [2].
With the remake positioned as a numbered entry, Capcom aims to update both the gameplay and story aspects while maintaining the essence of the original. The game's release window or platform details have not yet been announced.
