Resident Evil: Code Veronica Remake Rumored for 2026

by

A reliable source says Capcom will finally announce a remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica later this year. The Resident Evil series has been prone to leaks recently – details about the upcoming Requiem game surfaced online long before its official announcement. Now, with Requiem‘s release date nearing, speculation is growing that Resident Evil Code: Veronica could be the next game Capcom remakes.

Capcom has been consistently delivering content for fans of the Resident Evil series. The highly anticipated Resident Evil Requiem will be released on February 27th, alongside two classic Resident Evil titles coming to the new Switch 2 console on the same day. Early indications suggest the newest game is a tribute to longtime fans, featuring familiar characters and settings. And it sounds like Capcom may have even more remakes and revivals planned for the future.

Leaker Claims Resident Evil Code: Veronica Remake Will Be Announced in 2026

Dusk Golem, a reliable source of leaks for Resident Evil news, is predicting that Capcom will announce a remake of Code: Veronica later in 2026. They originally reported the remake was in development back in 2024 and are now reinforcing that claim. This prediction came after a fan asked about a potential remake of RE 5, prompted by a hint from voice actor Eva La Dare. Dusk Golem stated La Dare’s tease refers to a different game, but that Capcom will soon reveal the Code: Veronica remake.

This new timeline supports previous leaks. Back in August 2025, a source known as Dusk Golem indicated that the Code: Veronica remake was progressing faster than expected, suggesting it would be released before the rumored RE Zero remake. If this is correct, Capcom will probably announce the remake sometime this year, possibly after Requiem comes out, to build excitement around the series. They would then likely release the game in 2027. Dusk Golem didn’t specify when an announcement might happen, but suggested it would be later in 2026. This means we could hear news within a few months, and anything after Requiem‘s release in February is possible.

Okay, so Capcom isn’t officially saying anything, but everyone’s buzzing about a potential remake of Resident Evil: Code Veronica. From what I’m hearing, they might actually change up the story a bit to make it flow better with where the series is now and to grab a wider audience. The best part? It sounds like they’re putting a lot of money into this – apparently, a lot of the team that did the amazing RE2 and RE4 remakes are working on it. If that’s true, fans like me have a lot to be excited about!

It’s important to remember that none of this has been officially confirmed yet. While leaks and rumors should always be taken with a grain of salt, Dusk Golem has proven to be a reliable source in the past. For example, they repeatedly predicted Leon Kennedy’s return in Resident Evil Requiem before Capcom finally acknowledged it, despite initial denials. Given this history, these new rumors might hold some truth. If an announcement is planned for 2026, fans won’t have to wait long to find out if they’re accurate.
