Resident Evil Code Veronica Remake: Are the Directors Already Known?

Although Capcom hasn’t officially hinted at creating a new version of the game originally released for the SEGA Dreamcast, rumors about the status of the remake are already circulating.

 

Today marks the 30th anniversary of the Resident Evil franchise. Indeed: Biohazard (as it is known in Japan) debuted in that country on March 22, 1996, for the PS1. It was then released in North America on April 1 and in Europe on August 19. The survival horror game, set in Spencer Mansion, went on to spawn numerous sequels and spin-offs. The latest installment, Resident Evil: Requiem, was released a few weeks ago and was an immediate hit for Capcom. However, that’s not what we’re discussing here. Instead, we’re talking about an unannounced remake.

Dusk Golem, who has reported on rumors surrounding the Resident Evil franchise on more than one occasion, has spoken on Twitter about a Code Veronica remake. Released in the early 2000s, this game predates Resident Evil 4 and the over-the-shoulder camera. This makes it interesting to consider what the remake will ultimately look like.

“Resident Evil Code Veronica Remake is directed by the same duo who directed Resident Evil 2 and 4 Remakes: Kazunori Kadoi and Yasuhiro Anpo. This team structure is outdated for Resident Evil development. These days, there are fewer set teams and more individual routes through these games based on job titles, workloads, etc., between Capcom and support studios. Some people work on nearly every Resident Evil game, some work on every third title, and some switch between Resident Evil and other games in development. It really depends. There are some core leads behind specific projects, but the teams themselves are not as cut and dried as they used to be,” wrote Dusk Golem.

The only question now is whether Capcom will confirm the remake this summer.
