Capcom has revealed a Resident Evil: Code Veronica remake, just named Resident Evil Veronica, delighting fans of the franchise watching this year's Summer Game Fest livestream.Footage showed an unnamed female character being shown around a Parisian apartment (though the clue here is she's the sister of someone else here on a secret mission). The footage concludes with the reveal that this is none other than Claire Redfield (sister of Chris) — and this is a reimagined take on the classic Code Veronica story.While great news for Resident Evil fans, the announcement does not come as too much of a surprise. Previous reporting had pinned a Code Veronica remake for a 2027 release, and tipped its reveal as taking place this year following the launch of Resident Evil: Requiem. IGN previously verified that a new version of the game is indeed in development, alongside a further-off Resident Evil Zero remake as well. MP1st, meanwhile, has claimed that the game had been pencilled in with a Q1 2027 launch window. And of course, this remake follows Capcom's previous new versions of Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4. Resident Evil: Code Veronica originally launched in 2000 for the Sega Dreamcast. It's not a mainline numbered entry in the series, but it remains beloved by fans and considered a core part of the franchise's story. Its narrative takes place around the same time as Resident Evil 3, but instead features Claire and Chris Redfield on a remote prison island and then in Antarctica. And yes, fan-favorite baddie Wesker is also involved.To catch up on all the announcements from tonight, be sure to check out IGN's roundup of everything announced during Summer Game Fest 2026.Tom Phillips is IGN's News Editor.
