Summer Game Fest’s official show aired today and the very first trailer shown was for Resident Evil Veronica, a remake of classic spin-off title Code Veronica. The trailer appears to show first-person gameplay (though that could have been purely to hide the reveal) and gives a release window of 2027.
The trailer showed Claire Redfield visiting an apartment in Paris, looking for her brother Chris. Within moments of entering, she’s ambushed and captured, presumably by the same Umbrella forces who apprehended her in the original — though the sequence perhaps lacks the action of Claire outrunning a helicopter.
A remake of Code Veronica has long been rumored to be in development at Capcom, along with a few other remakes of classic Resident Evil titles. This is the first official confirmation that the game is in the works, and it’s penciled in for 2027. Resident Evil games traditionally release in the first half of any given year, which might narrow down the release window. Requiem, the most recent mainline title, launched on February 27.
