Capcom's strategy, older resident evilRe-releasing titles in a modern format seems to be continuing – albeit with a longer duration than before. the remake of Resident Evil 4 Since its release in 2023, there has been little news regarding further re-releases. Now, a report from a well-known insider is fueling new speculation – with concrete hints about upcoming titles and their release schedule.
Resident Evil 0 and Code: Veronica in focus
According to the insider Dusk Golem on X, who has repeatedly provided accurate advance information on Capcom projects in the past, are supposed to Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil - Code: Veronica These will be the next two titles to receive a remake. However, the release of the remakes is not expected until 2027. First up is... Resident Evil 0 next in line, with a planned release in 2027, followed by Code: Veronica in the year 2028.
Both games belong to the extended main series, but have not yet been included in Capcom's remake strategy – quite unlike parts 2, 3, and 4, which have been released in remastered form since 2019. In terms of content, Resident Evil 0 It is a prequel that takes place immediately before the first part and sheds light on the backstory of the STARS unit. Code: Veronica The story of Claire Redfield, in turn, takes place after the events of Resident Evil 2 and represents an important bridge between the early spin-off series.
That these two games in particular might be slated for a remake is not surprising: Both offer a relevant narrative foundation for the series as a whole and, due to their original platform exclusivity, have less visibility than other installments. A remake would open them up to a new audience, both technically and narratively.
Source with a history – but without guarantee
Despite the detailed information regarding the planned release, this information should be treated with caution. While Dusk Golem is considered well-connected in the... resident evilThe community has often been right in the past, but not always. Official confirmation from Capcom is also still lacking. The company has not yet responded to the recent reports – and it's questionable whether that will change anytime soon. At the same time, the insider predicts that Resident Evil 9 at Summer Game Fest will be shown.
For fans, this means: wait and see. If the report is confirmed, the remakes are unlikely to be released until the next generation of consoles – possibly even the PS6. Until then, the focus remains on Capcom's current and upcoming titles, such as the next main installment in the series, about which there is currently no concrete information.
Just reheated garbage now, I think gaming is slowly coming to an end.
Andree Kestelyn: Well, what do you mean by "warmed up"? Damn, I mean, maybe you and I experienced that time on the Segger Dreamcast, playing games like Cold Veronica or Zero, or something like that.
You haven't forgotten, we're getting older, and there are now young players who hardly know the series at all, and I would be happy to play some of the games I loved back then in much better quality.
I thought Part 2 Remake was great, the atmosphere and the graphics were amazing, really fantastic, but of course I also know the originals which were also great.
And since they work nine hours a day, as long as they release my new part every now and then, it's okay.
But if you don't like it, there's a super easy option for you: just don't buy it ☺️
Oh, that'll surely be cross-gen, the Capcom RE engine runs on every toaster. Otherwise, I'm looking forward to remakes; I'm curious how they'll implement the Switch mechanics in Zero. And I've never played Code Veronica.
