Capcom announces Resident Evil: Code Veronica remake for 2027
Capcom confirmed a full remake of the 2000 Dreamcast survival horror game at Summer Game Fest, targeting a 2027 release on PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2, and PC.
Capcom opened Summer Game Fest 2026 by confirming what had been rumored for months: Resident Evil: Code Veronica is getting the RE Engine remake treatment. The game, titled Resident Evil Veronica, is targeting a 2027 release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.
The original Code Veronica launched on Sega Dreamcast in 2000 and was the first mainline Resident Evil title to appear outside PlayStation. It followed Claire Redfield from Raccoon City to a private island prison run by the Ashford family, and it remains the last full survival horror entry in the series before Resident Evil 4 shifted the franchise toward action. A lot of players skipped it because the title made it look like a spinoff. It is not. The storyline feeds directly into Resident Evil 5.
The trailer shown at Summer Game Fest ran about three minutes, was cinematic rather than gameplay, and showed Claire arriving at a Paris hotel in first-person perspective. Whether the final game is first-person or shifts to third-person is still unclear. Capcom has not confirmed a specific launch date beyond the 2027 window, though reporting from multiple outlets points to Q1.
