While Capcom continues the trend of bringing its classic horror games back to life, a Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake seems increasingly unlikely. Capcom producer Yoshiaki Hirabayash told NoisyPixel the team is currently focused on making Resident Evil 4 remake the best it can be.
So far, it seems Capcom’s efforts in that regard are paying off. As we said in our Resident Evil 4 preview, the game’s early moments are a gruesome delight and a blend of the familiar and innovative.
As for what comes later, Hirabayashi told NoisyPixel they may consider a Code: Veronica remake, if the opportunity arises.
Capcom originally conceived of Resident Evil Code: Veronica as a sequel to Resident Evil 2, one that followed Chris and Claire Redfield, sibling protagonists from the first two games, as they infiltrated the Umbrella Corporation’s research labs in an effort to find each other and put a stop to the pharmaceutical corporation’s ghastly experiments.
It ended up receiving the spinoff label after Capcom released Resident Evil 3: Nemesis as a direct sequel centered on Jill Valentine and the destruction of Raccoon City.
Whether Code Veronica gets the remake treatment or not, there’s plenty of classic Resident Evil on the way, and Resident Evil 4 remake launches Mar. 24, 2023, for PC, PS4 and PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.
