Capcom prioritizes Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake, plans post‑launch DLC for Requiem
Capcom confirmed that a remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica is in development, using the same team that produced the Resident Evil 2 and 4 remakes. The studio says the remake will respect the original’s core elements while incorporating extensive player feedback collected since the game’s 2000 release. The project is slated to begin after the completion of the Resident Evil 4 remake.
Leaker Dusk Golem revealed that Capcom intends to release a substantial story‑DLC for Resident Evil Requiem after the Veronica remake launches, describing it as longer and more ambitious than previous expansions such as Separate Ways. The company sees these DLCs as a temporary solution to fill gaps between major releases and to experiment with side‑story concepts, without committing to full standalone spin‑offs. Capcom also disclosed that a Resident Evil 5 remake is not currently in production and is not a priority.
These announcements reflect Capcom’s broader strategy to sustain the Resident Evil franchise through high‑profile remakes and expanded narrative content while addressing past challenges with smaller spin‑off titles.
