Resident Evil Veronica^[a] is an upcoming survival horror game developed and published by Capcom.^[1] It is a remake of the 2000 video game Resident Evil – Code: Veronica and part of the Resident Evil series.^[2] The game is scheduled for release in 2027 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X and Series S.^[1][2]

Veronica follows siblings Claire Redfield and Chris Redfield three months after the events of the Raccoon City incident. Searching for her brother in Paris, Claire is captured by the Umbrella Corporation and imprisoned on Rockfort Island, a remote prison facility that experiences a T-virus outbreak.

Gameplay

Resident Evil Veronica is a survival horror game from a third-person perspective, similar to the Resident Evil 2 remake.^[3][4]

Premise

Set three months after the destruction of Raccoon City^[b], Resident Evil Veronica follows Claire Redfield during an escape from the isolated, zombie-filled Rockfort Island.^[1] The first trailer showed Claire in Paris while searching for her brother, Chris Redfield.^[5][6] Capcom said the remake would preserve the essence of Code: Veronica with modernised gameplay, a reimagined storyline and updated graphics.^[2]

Development and release

Resident Evil – Code: Veronica was originally released for the Dreamcast in 2000.^[2][7] The remake follows Capcom's remakes of earlier Resident Evil games, including Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4.^[7] Developed using Capcom's proprietary RE Engine, Veronica was unveiled at Summer Game Fest on June 5, 2026, where the series' executive producer Jun Takeuchi presented the announcement alongside host Geoff Keighley.^[8] The announcement trailer opened the event and revealed the title.^[9][2] It is scheduled for release in 2027 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S.^[2]

Because the remake dropped the word "Code" from the title and used the abbreviated name "REV," which could be confused with Resident Evil 5 due to the use of the Roman numeral V (or 5), some media outlets and fans speculated that Capcom was potentially using the remake as a retcon of the fifth game, whose remake had not yet been announced at that time. Game producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi indirectly denied these assumptions, claiming in an interview that they considered the original game to be just as important to the franchise as the numbered games, so they wanted the remake's title to reflect that, using the same title style as modern Resident Evil games like Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil Requiem.^[10]
