Resident Evil Code Veronica Remake Could Release in the First Half of 2027, Insider Claims
Rumors around a Resident Evil Code Veronica Remake have intensified over the past month, and the latest update adds more fuel to the fire with a tighter release window. After CAPCOM leaker Dusk Golem suggested in mid December that Resident Evil Code Veronica and Resident Evil Zero are next on the remake schedule, with Code Veronica targeting a 2027 launch and Zero aiming for 2028, a second well known insider is now backing that up and narrowing the timeline further.
Nate the Hate, one of the most consistently accurate names in the leaks space right now, posted a direct claim on social media stating that Code Veronica is being remade, deep in development, and currently targeting release in the first half of 2027.
If this window holds, it positions the game as potentially 1 of CAPCOM’s next major premium beats after its current slate, and it also aligns with the pattern the company has built since it rebooted Resident Evil remakes into a consistent high impact pipeline. The success metrics give CAPCOM every reason to keep investing. Resident Evil 2 Remake is now the company’s third best selling game of all time at 16.30 million units, only behind Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter Rise. Resident Evil 4 Remake, released in March 2023, is already at 11.10 million units sold, while Resident Evil 3 Remake sits at 10.60 million units, proving that even the more divisive remake entries still deliver meaningful commercial upside.
CAPCOM also set expectations in late 2023 by confirming it was working on more remakes, and among long time fans, Code Veronica has been one of the most requested candidates. The original game’s history explains why. It began life as a SEGA Dreamcast exclusive, and while it eventually reached PlayStation 2 and later platforms like GameCube, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3, that later multi platform spread happened after the game had already aged out of the mainstream spotlight for many players.
For anyone new to this chapter of the franchise, Code Veronica takes place roughly 3 months after Resident Evil 2 and centers on the Redfield siblings, Claire and Chris. The story pushes them into survival mode during a viral outbreak that spans a remote prison island in the Southern Ocean and a research facility in Antarctica, giving the narrative a distinctive tone and setting compared with the more familiar Raccoon City arcs. If CAPCOM is truly remaking it with modern production values, it has the potential to land as both a fan service win and a strategic way to reintroduce an important legacy entry to the broader audience that never touched the original.
Do you want CAPCOM to prioritize Code Veronica as a full scale remake with Resident Evil 4 Remake level production, or would you prefer a tighter, more horror focused approach closer to the tone of the earlier remakes?
