There’s little debate among the fanbase at this point: Resident Evil Requiem is one of the series’ finest hours. Capcom has been on a staggering run, delivering hit after hit with a consistency that few studios can match. From Resident Evil 7 through to the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 4, the quality curve has been near-vertical, and expectations for whatever comes next are sky-high. Rumors of multiple remakes quietly taking shape have been swirling for months, and the picture is gradually becoming clearer.
One of the best games in the series, in the hands of one of Capcom’s best duos?
Trusted insider AestheticGamer, better known as Dusk Golem, has been saying the same thing for a long time: the next project is a remake of Resident Evil Code Veronica. And if his reporting holds up, it could be something truly extraordinary. Fans on social media are already reaching for superlatives, with phrases like « the ultimate Resident Evil » and « could be the greatest remake ever made » cropping up with striking regularity. Bold words for a game that hasn’t even been announced, but the logic behind the excitement is hard to argue with.
Resident Evil Code: Veronica is genuinely one of the most celebrated and beloved entries in the entire franchise. It’s substantial in length, unforgiving in difficulty, devious in its puzzle design, and home to some of the richest lore in the series, particularly when it comes to its antagonists. The prospect of a full-scale remake, after years of being represented only by a largely forgettable remaster, is the kind of thing fans have quietly hoped for without ever quite believing it would happen.
And what makes the rumors even more electrifying is the team reportedly attached to the project. According to Dusk Golem, it’s being led by Kazunori Kadoi and Yasuhiro Anpo, the duo behind the exceptional remakes of Resident Evil 2 and 4.
A Resident Evil Code Veronica remake already selling the dream
With that pairing at the helm, the ceiling feels almost limitless. Their approach to the previous two remakes was masterful, threading the needle between reverence for the source material and genuine creative ambition, weaving in cut content, fresh ideas, and surprising additions while never losing sight of what made the originals so enduring. If Resident Evil Code Veronica is indeed in their hands, there’s every reason to expect the same alchemy at work.
The insider suggests an announcement could arrive at some point this year, with a release window targeting 2027. A Resident Evil Zero remake would reportedly follow, before the next major mainline entry eventually takes center stage. It’s a tantalizing roadmap, but an entirely unofficial one. Until Capcom breaks its silence, measured excitement is probably the wisest stance.
