Resident Evil: Veronica Can Fix One Of The Series’ Biggest Mistakes
At Summer Game Fest Live 2026, Capcom announced the long-awaited remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica, now simply titled Resident Evil: Veronica. Originally released for the Dreamcast in 2000, Code: Veronica represents the final classic mainline Resident Evil title to receive a modern remake, following the RE1 and RE3 remakes released in recent years.
Capcom’s previous remake efforts have prioritized modernizing classic entries through updated controls and camera angles to improve accessibility for contemporary players. However, the announcement trailer for Resident Evil: Veronica suggests a more ambitious approach this time. The remake hints at substantial changes beyond surface-level updates, including different camera perspectives and tonal shifts, indicating Capcom is willing to reimagine the experience more significantly.
The announcement marks a significant moment for Resident Evil fans, as Code: Veronica has long been considered a standout entry in the franchise’s history. Its inclusion in Capcom’s remake program validates its importance to the series while presenting an opportunity to introduce the game to players who may have missed the original Dreamcast release. The scope of changes suggested by the trailer indicates Capcom is treating this as more than a simple visual update, potentially setting this remake apart from its predecessors.
