Resident Evil: Veronica Is a Remake of Code: Veronica
The trailer is in a first-person perspective in a building somewhere in France. The mystery character peeps through a peephole and is then grabbed. After a short montage of spooky environments, the person is then revealed to be long-time series staple Claire Redfield. No further details have come out, but this story will be updated if they trickle out during the show. Capcom had little to say after the stream, only saying this remake “preserves the essence of the original game, while introducing modernized gameplay, a reimagined storyline, and vividly detailed graphics.”
This remake has been rumored for some time. Various insiders have spoken of its existence, even calling out how it would come in 2027.
Code: Veronica is beloved by many, but it is also known for some of its clunkier elements. It originally came to the Dreamcast in 2000. It was ported to the PS2 and released for the Dreamcast in the following year as Code: Veronica X, which had new cutscenes and story materials. That version was then ported to HD consoles like the PS3, Xbox 360, and PS4, and adapted for the on-rails shooter Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles.
