Capcom Announces Resident Evil Veronica Remake for 2027

Capcom unveiled the Resident Evil Veronica remake during the opening of Summer Game Fest 2026, confirming rumors that have circulated since the February release of Resident Evil Requiem. The three‑minute trailer follows protagonist Claire Redfield as she searches for her brother Chris, beginning in a Paris hotel and leading to the remote prison island Rockfort.

The remake is slated for a 2027 launch on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, though no exact date has been set. Leaks from the community indicate the game will feature a semi‑open world version of Rockfort Island, with a motorcycle that players can repair and ride. The perspective will be strictly third‑person, aside from a brief first‑person opening scene in Paris. Steam tags attached to the title include Motorbike, Metroidvania, Cinematic, Realistic, Gore and Violent, hinting at expanded gameplay and a more visceral presentation. Capcom has indicated an early‑2027 release window, with further details expected at major industry events later this year.
