The remake will be the “next chapter” in the Resident Evil franchise, Capcom said in a press release. Resident Evil Veronica will bring back Claire Redfield, one of the franchise's several iconic characters, in a story that reimagines the events of Code Veronica.

Capcom said that the remake would preserve the appeal of the original horror classic, while telling a reimagined story and introducing modernised gameplay. Resident Evil Veronica will also bring graphical enhancements courtesy of the company's proprietary RE Engine.

Resident Evil Veronica is set three months after the Racoon City incident and follows Claire Redfield as she travels to France in search of her brother, Chris Redfield. Claire, however, is captured by the Umbrella Corporatation and transported to a remote prison on the mysterious Rockfort Island. She must survive the infected creatures on the island to escape and reunite with her brother.

Resident Evil Veronica will launch on PC (via Steam), PS5, Xbox Series S/X, and Switch 2 in 2027. Capcom said it would share more details about the upcoming survival horror title, along with its release date, in the near future. The Japanese company said that the remake would satisfy both long-time Resident Evil fans and new players alike.

Capcom has revived the Resident Evil franchise in recent years with acclaimed mainline entries like Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Resident Evil: Village, and this year's Resident Evil: Requiem. Additionally, recent remakes of beloved older RE games like Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4 have also helped the horror franchise find a modern footing.

Resident Evil Requiem released on February 27 and has since sold over 7 million copies. The horror title is also one of the highest-rated games of 2026.
