Capcom plans Code Veronica remake after RE9 release

Capcom is reportedly targeting remakes of Code Veronica and Resident Evil Zero after Resident Evil 9, with a potential 2027–2028 release window.

Capcom Plans Code Veronica Remake After RE9 Release

VideoGamer reports that Capcom plans to remake Resident Evil Code Veronica and Resident Evil Zero after the release of Resident Evil 9. The leaker AestheticGamer, also known as Dusk Golem, has a track record of predicting RE remakes, including the RE4 remake, and has previously teased changes to the RE9 project. The rumor states the two remakes could arrive in 2027 or 2028, though it is unclear which would come first.

Beyond the remakes, the piece notes that Code Veronica and Zero have been mentioned before by Dusk Golem and that IGN reportedly corroborated those claims. It also points to pre development changes during the projects, including a former idea that one of the remakes might pursue a more online open world shooter direction. The surrounding talk underscores how fan interest, leaks, and official confirmation mingle in the early stages of a remake driven strategy.

Capcom appears to be leaning into a remake cadence as a way to sustain the Resident Evil franchise between large new installments. If true, it shows a design philosophy that treats nostalgia not as a shield but as a platform for experimentation with modern game tech and storytelling.

The approach carries risks. A steady stream of remakes can bore fans if it undercuts the sense of novelty. It also hinges on the credibility of leaks and the willingness of Capcom to invest in revisiting older software with substantial redevelopment costs. The balance between fan demand and budget discipline will shape how boldly Capcom leans into this strategy in the years ahead.
