The highly anticipated remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica is rumored to be announced at the Summer Game Fest in June. Known insider Dusk Golem has stated it is “incredibly likely” that Capcom will reveal the project at Geoff Keighley’s event, which is scheduled for June 5th. This speculation aligns with Capcom’s recent marketing patterns, as the company previously unveiled Resident Evil Requiem at last year’s Summer Game Fest and has used Keighley’s events like The Game Awards to showcase major titles such as Onimusha: Way of the Sword and Monster Hunter Wilds. Dusk Golem emphasized that this is a personal estimation, as he does not have direct knowledge of Capcom’s marketing plans, but his track record with Resident Evil leaks lends weight to the rumor. The insider has been asserting for months that Code: Veronica will be the next remake in the series and is slated for release next year.
Dusk Golem’s broader prediction outlines a potential rollout schedule for Capcom’s Resident Evil content. He suggests a free mini-game update for Resident Evil Requiem could arrive this month, followed by the Code: Veronica Remake announcement at Summer Game Fest, and then the story expansion DLC for Requiem later in the year. Resident Evil Code: Veronica holds a significant place in the franchise’s lore, continuing Claire Redfield’s story after Resident Evil 2 and reintroducing Chris Redfield in a plot centered on the Ashford family. For years, a segment of the fan community has advocated for a modern remake treatment similar to those given to Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4, and this latest rumor suggests that wish may soon be fulfilled.
