Resident Evil Code: Veronica-nyinnspillingen blir mye annerledes enn originalen

According to various reports, the remake of 2000’s Resident Evil Code: Veronica will be the next big Resident Evil title released by Capcom. Although the studio hasn’t revealed or teased anything about it, reliable gaming insider Dusk Golem has said multiple times the game is in development and will be officially confirmed this year.

Just like it usually happens with Resident Evil remakes, Code Veronica is expected to be way more different than the original title. Reddit user KekanKok has released a new post dedicated to Resident Evil Code: Veronica Remake, where he summed up all the information we have so far, with references to Dusk Golem and other rumors. According to him, the upgraded game will focus more on Claire Redfield instead of balancing the narrative between her and her brother, Chris Redfield, in the original. We will have fully interactive scenes, which were just cutscenes before—like visiting the Umbrella office in Paris with Claire and the fight between Chris and Albert Wesker. More exciting details, including a semi-open world and the possibility to ride a motorcycle, you can check out below:

"A compilation of every rumor known about the upcoming remake of Code Veronica. Mostly details from DuskGolem, as well as a few from ScreenFire Germany.

Development:

• Direction: Kazunori Kadoi & Yasuhiro Anpo (RE 2 & 4 Remake)
• Producer: Yoshiaki Hirabayashi (RE 2 & 4 Remake)
• Release window: Q1 2027
• Development started in late 2022 at Capcom Division 1. It was passed the first time it was proposed, but was re-evaluated after RE Village came out. Currently way ahead of schedule, as it was originally scheduled to release in 2028 but was pushed forward due to development going smoothly.
• Marketing was being prepared around late 2025.
• Planned to release on Switch 2.
• Aiming to have cutting-edge graphics and be the best-looking RE game to date.

Story:

• More of a Claire-focused game than Chris, with mix-ups in what he & Claire did in the original game.
• Far darker-toned than the original, leaning more into horror.
• The opening sequence has Claire visiting the Umbrella HQ in Paris with a group of tourists as she sneaks off to steal information. She gets caught and sent to Rockford Island. The scene with the helicopter shooting at Claire is kept.
• Steve's creepiness is toned down, being in its place a bit socially inept. He grew up on Rockford Island, so he's curious about the outside world. He still has a crush on Claire.
• Rodrigo's role has been expanded, similar to Luis in RE 4 Remake.
• The Ashfords being a Nazi family will be addressed more directly.
• Wesker has a bigger role than the original, since H.C.F. will play a bigger role in the story.
• Wesker's fight with Chris now happens earlier in the game as a boss fight rather than a cutscene, ending Chris's section with him injured and shifting to Claire to be the one fighting Alexia.

Gameplay:

• Rockfort Island is semi open-world, Claire can ride a motorcycle across the island.
• The opening now is fully playable and teaches stealth options.
• The gore system from RE 2 Remake returns with an overhaul.
• No cuts to enemies or locations. Everything is present, but "more remixed than any other remake", with changes to the chronology of events."

As we know, which was revealed by the above-mentioned scooper Dusk Golem, Resident Evil Code: Veronica Remake is being directed by Kazunori Kadoi & Yasuhiro Anpo, the directors of Resident Evil 2: Remake and Resident Evil 4: Remake. This is already a weighty reason to be excited, and considering all the details we've heard so far, it could be one of the best Resident Evil remakes ever.

Capcom, though, is not ready to share any official information about Resident Evil Code: Veronica Remake; however, recently the studio released a photo mode for their latest title, Resident Evil Requiem, and a new art featuring Grace Ashcroft and Leon S. Kennedy. The fans also started to speculate this art could tease Ada Wong’s involvement in a confirmed story expansion to Requiem, as it features a red tin and butterfly on it.
