According to well-known insider Dusk Golem, Capcom has decided to push back the release of the Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake to Fall 2027. The company reportedly wants to take more time to polish the project.
According to his data, the publisher originally aimed to release Code: Veronica in the first quarter of 2027. The launch window was later pushed back to the second quarter before ultimately being delayed to the fall.
Dusk Golem claims that Capcom could have released the game earlier but preferred to focus on ironout minor and mid-level bugs. He notes that this decision was directly driven by the player feedback received for Resident Evil Requiem.
The insider points out that the criticism surrounding Requiem has also affected its upcoming story DLC, extending its production timeline as well. Additionally, Capcom was planning to drop a fresh trailer for Code: Veronica, but the showcase was shelved due to shifts in internal schedules.
Media outlet TheGamer attributes player dissatisfaction to Requiem's narrative, bloated semi-open world environments, and a handful of mediocre gameplay segments. Meanwhile, following the remake's initial announcement at Summer Game Fest, official details on the project have been virtually non-existent for a long time.
