If an analysis is to be believed, we may need to start getting used to the idea that AAA games will become even more expensive.

The Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake could cost around $80, according to a new analyst forecast examining Capcom’s current momentum and the increasingly expensive AAA market. This estimate is unofficial for now but suggests that Capcom may not position the 2027 remake as a small-scale project, but rather as a full premium release. This would price Resident Evil Veronica above the $70 level that is already becoming the new trend.

According to Capcom’s latest earnings report, Resident Evil Requiem sold 7 million copies, and Capcom’s profits rose 13%. This performance provides the publisher with a solid commercial foundation ahead of the release of its next major horror game. Resident Evil Veronica is expected to receive the same high-profile treatment as Capcom’s other modern remakes. After years of rumors and fan requests, Capcom officially announced the project at Summer Game Fest for a 2027 release. Even before the announcement, reports had suggested that the Code Veronica remake was planned for the first quarter of 2027. However, Capcom has not yet confirmed a more specific release window.

Although Resident Evil Code: Veronica never received a numbered title, it still occupies an important place in the franchise’s broader timeline. Fans have long awaited the game’s return, especially after Capcom released remakes of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4. Since Capcom has not yet announced the price of the remake, the analyst’s estimate should be viewed as market speculation rather than a confirmed retail price. However, the prediction is not difficult to understand. Development budgets are rising, publishers are testing higher price points, and Resident Evil has become one of Capcom’s most reliable global IPs. An $80 base price would likely be considered justified internally, given the development costs and proven demand for the series.

Capcom clearly has confidence in the series beyond just the remake. Following the success of Requiem, Resident Evil 10 is reportedly already in development, suggesting that the publisher has no plans to slow down its release schedule. Whether players will accept a potential $80 launch price depends on the scope of the project and how extensively Capcom reworks the original game.
