Summer Game Fest 2026 unveils Resident Evil remake and Gears of War prequel

At the 2026 Summer Game Fest, Capcom revealed a remake of the classic "Resident Evil – Code: Veronica," now titled "Resident Evil Veronica" and slated for a 2027 release. The teaser shows Claire Redfield investigating her brother Chris’s Paris apartment before being captured by Umbrella forces and taken to Rockfort Island, hinting at new storyline twists.

Microsoft’s Xbox showcase introduced "Gears of War: E‑Day," a prequel that returns to the series’ corridor‑shooting roots while promising fresh narrative elements. The 27‑minute direct highlighted the game's nostalgic design and confirmed that the upcoming title will focus on a tighter, more classic Gears experience rather than the open‑world approach of recent entries.
