Capcom pulled back the curtain on its next survival horror project today during Summer Game Fest in Los Angeles, officially revealing a long-rumored remake of the cult-favorite Resident Evil – Code: Veronica. The new version, retitled simply Resident Evil Veronica, is targeting a 2027 release window and was introduced with an in-engine cinematic trailer during the showcase.
The remake once again puts players in the shoes of Claire Redfield as she searches for her missing brother Chris in the wake of the Raccoon City disaster. After being captured during a raid on an Umbrella facility in Paris, Claire is shipped off to the remote Rockfort Island prison, where a fresh T-virus outbreak forces her into an uneasy alliance with fellow inmate Steve Burnside. The journey eventually leads to an isolated Antarctic base and a confrontation with the unhinged Ashford siblings, Alfred and Alexia.
More details, including platforms and a firm release date, are expected in the months ahead.
