Following the successful release of Resident Evil Requiem earlier this year, the beloved survival-horror series by CAPCOM will return in 2027 on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 with Resident Evil Veronica, a remake of the classic entry in the series originally released on the SEGA Dreamcast back in 2000.
The rumored remake was announced during today's Summer Game Fest showcase just as previously rumored with a deceptive trailer that only showed the modern recreation of Claire Redfield at its very end, alongside the game's name, which will drop "Code" from the original. Unfortunately, a precise release date hasn't been announced outside of a generic 2027, but going by how CAPCOM handled Resident Evil Requiem last year, the game is likely to release in early 2027.
Unfortunately, the Resident Evil Veronica reveal trailer did not show much of the gameplay. Will it lean more towards horror or will CAPCOM attempt to spice the experience up and feature more action-oriented sequences like Resident Evil Requiem did, striking the best balance the series has seen in years? If the game is launching in early 2027, it likely won't take long to learn more about what the next entry will offer in a series that has quickly returned to the glory of the past following the release of Resident Evil 7 Biohazard.
