Capcom revealed Resident Evil: Veronica during Summer Game Fest 2026, confirming a full remake of the original Resident Evil – Code: Veronica. The game is scheduled to launch next year, and its first look places it firmly alongside the modern Resident Evil remakes that have become one of Capcom’s strongest recent runs.

Capcom has officially announced Resident Evil: Veronica, a remake of the 2000 release Resident Evil – Code: Veronica. The reveal came during the Summer Game Fest 2026 showcase, and while the source treats the platform list cautiously, the game is presumably headed to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC. The release window is already clearer: Capcom plans to launch it next year.

This remake follows 2023’s Resident Evil 4 and continues one of Capcom’s most successful modern strategies. After the remakes of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4, Code: Veronica had become an obvious candidate, even if Capcom took its time making the announcement official. Now it has. And based on the reveal, this does not look like a minor refresh: the game appears to aim for the same dark, detailed, contemporary horror atmosphere that made the previous remakes work beyond nostalgia.

The original Resident Evil – Code: Veronica occupies an unusual but important place in the series. Its story takes place after Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, even though it was released after Nemesis. That has always made it feel like an in-between entry, but not a disposable one. For many fans, it remains one of the key chapters of the classic era despite not being a numbered mainline installment. The game also received an HD version in 2011, but a full modern remake has been overdue for years.

So the announcement is not exactly shocking, but it still matters. Capcom has spent the past several years proving that it can rebuild old Resident Evil games in a way that works as more than nostalgia, turning familiar material into modern survival horror again. Resident Evil: Veronica now continues that path, and if the final game lives up to the promise of its first showing, one of the franchise’s longest-standing remake requests may finally be answered properly next year.
