The game follows siblings Claire Redfield and Chris Redfield three months after the events of the Raccoon City incident. Continuing her search for her missing brother, Claire's investigation leads her to Paris, where she is captured by the Umbrella Corporation and imprisoned on Rockfort Island, a remote prison facility experiencing a T-virus outbreak.
Premise
Resident Evil Veronica follows Claire Redfield during an escape from the isolated, zombie-filled Rockfort Island.[1] The first trailer showed Claire in Paris while searching for her brother, Chris Redfield.[3][4] Capcom said the remake would preserve the essence of Code: Veronica with modernised gameplay, a reimagined storyline and updated graphics.[2]
Development and release
Resident Evil – Code: Veronica was originally released for the Dreamcast in 2000.[2][5] The remake follows Capcom's remakes of earlier Resident Evil games, including Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4.[5] Developed using Capcom's proprietary RE Engine, Resident Evil Veronica was unveiled at Summer Game Fest on June 5, 2026, where series executive producer Jun Takeuchi presented the announcement alongside host Geoff Keighley.[6] The announcement trailer opened the event and revealed the game's simplified title, dropping "Code" from the title of the original game.[7][2] It is scheduled for release in 2027 for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S.[2]
