From GameWatcher: "It's almost traditional now. When a Resident Evil remake comes out, there's an almost instant clamor for another.
Resident Evil 2 finally got the remake treatment 17 years after its predecessor had its own rebirth. A divisive remake of Resident Evil 3 quickly followed, barely allowing fans time to demand it in the first place.
We had to wait a little longer for the Resident Evil 4 Remake, and now the cycle of demand and waiting has started once again. In fact, people didn't even wait for Resident Evil 4 to launch before debating what should be the next game in the series."
The often rumored remake of Capcom's Resident Evil - Code: Veronica is allegedly targeting a release in the first half of 2027.
I wonder how are they going to tackle this one. This is where the series started to get cheesy and sometimes unintentionaly so. They will have to fix a lot in terms of a story.
Grow the hell up . Code Veronica was the first resident evil game I bought with money I had saved up as a kid on Dreamcast . It was my first real resident evil game I have great memories with the game . I’ll be buying the remake because I’m old enough to understand what I’m doing when playing the game .
While not the best one, this is the last classic one until they started going downhills imo.
On another note, why not RE1 remake?
The best and most impressive RE ever!
If you were more than 20 years old you would understand. Maybe it’ the game is too difficult for you.
This game took Dreamcast by storm. One of my most memorable gaming moments. RE in 3D was a slap in everyone’s face.
I am older than 20. I also prefer tank controls and fixed cameras.
No, the game was not difficult.
It got riddiculous while still taking itself super seriously. Starting from the very beginning where in bombastic opening Claire runs away from bullets.
Hope this is true. I'll gladly replay this game with maybe some new content.
Dusk Golem claims a Resident Evil 5 remake is not coming this year, with a Code Veronica remake expected instead.
Dude Code Veronica is bad too but RE5 and 6 were mega successful and to me it makes much more sense for Capcom to do them instead. Nobody cares about Code Veronica except niche fixed camera era RE fans, i bet most modern RE fans probably don't know Code Veronica even exists. Based on all that i don't believe CV remake is coming but we will see i guess.
Actually RE5-6 was not Classic RE game.. They are not even Survival Horror game.. They are just an action game with coop and named by RE... And for me RE Code Veronica was masterpiece.. I remembered the first time i played it in Dreamcast.. It was absouletly excellent game. And specially for RE6.. I was quit from game after the camera shakes when Leon's kick to zombies.. There's a video about RE6 and they are telling the truth about that shitty game https://www.youtube.com/wat... here it is.. Enjoy it..
people are DYING for a Code Veronica Remake. Not sure who you are talking to, but the die-hard RE fans of the series are very familiar with every entry. That's what it means to be called a die-hard fan.

I am sure If they were to remake CV that it 2ont have fixed camera angle. I hope whatever they do they take their time like RE2/4 remakes and not rushed with cut content like RE3 remake
Before they should do RE5 they should go back and remake earlier games. In a perfect scenario we would get CV and RE/Zero before RE5/6
It makes more sense for them to remake earlier games like Code Veronica. RE5 is a good game though - it's not THAT different from RE4.
RE5 just doesn't really need to remade in general. The co-op element makes it tricky - you'd probably add more moments where Chris is by himself enhance the horror but some would want co-op to stay.
RE:5 Was and still is a great game, with hands down the best Merc mode, that I still play from time to time with my brother.
RE:6 blah, I agree, it was awful.
Other than Code Veronica, 6 is the one ai want to see remade the most only because pretty much everything has to be redone; can't streamline that hot mess.
6 was pretty bad. 5 just tried too hard in being an action-oriented RE4.
In some fairness to Capcom, 5 was the first Resident Evil on then-new hardware for them (X360 and PS3). And it was pretty damn hard to follow up RE4.
Imagine everyone's surprise when EA of all companies dropped Dead Space.
The first half of 5 wouldn't be too hard to do in the more grounded style the remakes have gone for, but the second half gets pretty silly and uncomfortable at parts.
6 is a wash. You'd have to basically make a whole new game to salvage that one at this point.
Hopefully if and when they do a RE5 remake, they give it the RE3 remake treatment, because this is certainly one title that I don't want a faithful remake of.
Capcom has updated its list of “Platinum Titles“—games that have sold over one million units—providing total sales numbers as of September 30, 2025.
If there is CV remake I hope it will be only on current hardware generation and developed by updated RE engine for current generation and of course with out series s copy if possible
They gotta do it. For posterity. There’s some crucial Chris Redfield vs Albert Wesker in there.
This 1st released on Dreamcast. Some say it was the best or joint best resi ever.
Deserves a remake. The real resident evil 3
It has been in the back of my mind too. I don't know much about it but heard it's essentially the real RE3 but promises were made and names were changed. I hope they do. I'm not sure if they really want to revisit RE5 or 6 so I think it's likely enough.
