Capcom announced Resident Evil RE:Veronica, a remake of the 2000 game Resident Evil Code: Veronica, during the Summer Game Fest 2026 livestream on June 5. The game is scheduled for release in 2027 on PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi confirmed the remake uses a third-person perspective and resource management mechanics similar to RE:2, and said the team chose Claire Redfield's story after finishing RE:4. Hirabayashi described the tone as more intense survival horror than the RE:2 remake, with a grounded, lonely feel. The original boss characters will appear, and the story has been reconstructed for a modern experience. The title drops the original subtitle; Hirabayashi explained the single-word name better communicates the concept to modern audiences. The trailer shows Claire Redfield in high detail, with some scenes from a first-person perspective, and the game runs on Capcom's RE engine with a reimagined storyline and new graphical art style.
Capcom also announced the world's first large-scale Resident Evil 30th anniversary exhibition, running from October 30 to December 24 at BEAM Gallery in Shibuya.

The remake is the first non-numbered mainline entry to receive a full remake, signaling Capcom's willingness to revisit side stories with the same production resources as its flagship remakes. The announcement followed the February 2026 release of Resident Evil Requiem and the Switch 2 launch of Resident Evil 7, Resident Evil Village, and the Resident Evil Generation Pack. In May 2026 PS Store download rankings, Resident Evil RE:4 placed third on PS5.
