Resident Evil Veronica was one of the biggest announcements at the recent Summer Game Fest 2026, sending the survival horror community into a frenzy. Fans are eagerly awaiting more details about this upcoming title, which is a full remake of the beloved 2000 classic Resident Evil: Code Veronica. Capcom opened the event with its reveal, positioning it as one of the finest releases expected in 2027.
Resident Evil Veronica Release Date and Platforms
According to the official announcement, Resident Evil Veronica is currently in development and will launch in 2027. While no exact date has been confirmed, it is expected to arrive in the first quarter of 2027, possibly around the same time as Resident Evil Requiem, which released on February 27, 2026. This would give Capcom a flagship Resident Evil title in consecutive years, a pattern the company has followed with previous entries and remakes. The game will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
Resident Evil Veronica Story Details
The original Resident Evil: Code Veronica took place three months after the events of 1998's Resident Evil 2 and concurrently with 1999's Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. The story follows Claire Redfield and her brother Chris Redfield as they struggle to survive a viral outbreak on a remote prison island in the Southern Ocean and a research facility in Antarctica. In the reveal trailer, Claire Redfield visits her brother Chris's apartment, with visuals reminiscent of modern RE Engine titles like Resident Evil Requiem. Towards the end of the trailer, Hunk is seen encountering Claire.
What to Expect from Resident Evil Veronica
Resident Evil Veronica will remain faithful to the original game while featuring modern gameplay, a reimagined storyline, and detailed graphics. The remake offers a massively overhauled experience and will help set up events for later entries in the Resident Evil timeline. Alongside Resident Evil Veronica, Capcom is also working on a new Resident Evil Zero remake, expected to arrive after Veronica, extending the company's remake roadmap into 2028. With Summer Game Fest delivering this news, fans now have two major Resident Evil projects to look forward to in the years ahead.
