Insider AestheticGamer, aka Dusk Golem, has tweeted that they’ve heard “several times pretty reliably” about what’s happening. Apparently, Capcom was aiming for Q1 2027 and entered a “busy crunch period” earlier this year. When it reportedly wasn’t possible, the release internally slipped to Q2 2027 and now Fall (which is also why a new trailer, allegedly planned to release by now, hasn’t aired).

“They COULD release the game, but especially after Requiem feedback, they want to take the time to fix medium or medium-small issues that’d make it a better game in late development than just push it out.” He also reaffirmed that Resident Evil Requiem’s story DLC is allegedly taking more time because of the same feedback.

“In the short term it’s annoying, but long term the reasoning for this is simply they want to be responsive to Requiem’s feedback and take their time for quality; things just align here.”

As of early August, Resident Evil Veronica crossed two million wishlists, so it makes sense for Capcom to take time and deliver on the hype. The real question now is when Requiem’s story DLC could arrive, especially since it’s reportedly meant to bridge the gap between major releases.

While apparently planned to launch after Veronica, it wouldn’t be surprising if it lands in early 2028. In the meantime, stay tuned for more details, ideally in the coming months. On the bright side, at least Resident Evil Requiem continues to perform well, crossing 8.5 million sales since launching earlier this year. There’s also positive buzz after the Resident Evil movie, which has grossed $400 million worldwide.

The most recent update, v.1.1.0.1, added new progression options, including the ability to skip the next three zones after the Great Wall Terraces Zone to “hasten” to the Capital. This option is for New Game+ players who want to finish the story faster, though you won’t receive Achievements/Trophies during a regular playthrough.

Other features include a field-of-view setting, hiding the “Skip” prompt during cutscenes, and various improvements to the latter’s pacing and “staging timing.” Issues like soft locks when quickly skipping specific events have also been fixed. Game Freak also improved performance by distributing the processing load from generating effects, and “adjusted” collision boundaries and submersion detection depth in all areas.

Check out the full patch notes here, and stay tuned for more details on tomorrow’s update. Beast of Reincarnation is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Despite initially mixed impressions from players (and some critics), we found plenty to like on the first go-around and gave it an 8. Check out our review here.

Allegedly hearing it “three times from three different people,” they noted there’s a “high chance” Veronica has slipped to Fall 2027. Previous reports claimed it would launch in the first half of 2027 – a typical period for past titles. Though they haven’t heard it directly, the insider is “coming to believe it’s true.”

It may also explain the remake’s absence at Tokyo Game Show, which hasn’t happened with any other “mainline” Resident Evil in the past. As for why, Capcom was allegedly making “some late changes to the game; the scope and time to do such were a bit in the air.” Thus, this may have taken longer than the team expected.

Such is the case with game development, but as Dusk Golem notes, “This definitely was not their plan from the start.” One can only speculate on how ambitious the changes were, but as always, since the publisher never announced a release date, this isn’t officially a delay.

Officially, Resident Evil Veronica launches next year for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. Perhaps we’ll hear more about it at The Game Awards, complete with a release window. Stay tuned for updates in the meantime.

It’s not in its literal or figurative wheelhouse, after all, and given how well it’s done with Forza Horizon – especially the latest entry – surely it would have been content in avoiding risks. However, studio co-founder and game director Ralph Fulton told The Guardian, “I think there was a little bit of pride in proving we could cut it in a different genre.”

Of course, the team will leverage its knowledge from the same genre. “It made sense not to fall too far from Horizon. This project definitely wasn’t going to have cars, but open worlds felt like an area where we had transferable skills.” While Albion isn’t necessarily as massive as a Forza Horizon map, especially the latest title, which had a team dedicated to Tokyo City alone, it’s still densely packed.

Seemingly above all else, however, is the fact that Playground wanted to work on it. As Fulton notes, “When Xbox mentioned Fable, every other opportunity dissolved into the background. It was all we could think about.” That’s not something every developer would say, especially after the cancellation of Fable Legends and Lionhead’s shuttering. Then again, the team is comprised of fans of the original trilogy, so it only makes sense.

Launching on February 23rd, 2027, Fable will be available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Head here for Fulton’s thoughts on the ending and how the team “relentlessly pursued quality.”

For comparison’s sake, Resident Evil Requiem, which had more trailers and details released beforehand, took about four months to reach that same milestone. How much more will Veronica’s wishlists increase in that same window, especially if the first gameplay debuts – perhaps at an event like Gamescom Opening Night Live or even Tokyo Game Show?

Time will tell, but it may be a bit longer before pricing is revealed and pre-orders go live. Resident Evil Veronica is rumored to launch in the first half of 2027, and based on Capcom’s previous releases, it wouldn’t be surprising if it arrived by the end of the fiscal year (i.e. March 31st).

The remake is coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2 sometime next year. We know its gameplay is in third-person, despite the announcement trailer primarily being in first-person, and Yasuhiro Anpo and Kazunori Kadoi of Resident Evil 2 and 4 Remakes fame return to helm the project. However, the former is the sole director this time while the latter serves as associate director.

Of course, the franchise has seen many changes ever since the original Code: Veronica launched in 2000. The recent remakes have retconned a decent amount, and that’s not even getting into the events of Resident Evil Requiem. But don’t worry – producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi told Famitsu (translation via IGN) that it’s accounting for all this in the remake.

“With Resident Evil Veronica, we are planning to restructure the story so that players can clearly feel how all of these titles are part of one cohesive series.” That includes changes made in Resident Evil 2 Remake, but he added that, “What’s most important for the development team at Capcom is putting the players’ memories first, and then rebuilding the game on top of that.”

If you haven’t played Code: Veronica, then it’s not exactly required for the remake. That said, Hirabayashi believes “you will enjoy it even more if you are familiar with the stories of other games in the Resident Evil series. So I highly recommend playing any past titles that you haven’t played yet.” So there’s your homework for the coming months.

Resident Evil Veronica is out in 2027 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. While it doesn’t have a release date yet, rumors claim it could arrive in the first half of the year. It’s directed by Yasuhiro Anpo with Kazunori Kadoi as the associate director – both familiar for their work on the Resident Evil 2 and 4 Remakes. And while it’s in third-person just like the original, you can expect the game to feel more like the former.

And once again, much like Requiem, this is without pre-orders being available or any gameplay footage. The reveal trailer was mainly in first-person and served more to highlight Claire Redfield’s return to the spotlight than anything else. Also, Hunk, if that is indeed who we think it is.

Thankfully, Capcom has spilt further details to media outlets that attended Summer Game Fest. First off, it’s still in third-person, but the game feel will be more akin to Resident Evil 2 Remake, so more over-the-shoulder than fixed angles. Claire is also described as being changed by the Raccoon City Destruction Incident, though you shouldn’t expect her to be a superhero or anything.

And while “Code” has been dropped from the name, producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi said you should consider the names of other Resident Evil titles like Village and Requiem. Essentially, Veronica is now considered more of a mainline entry than the original release, so the naming has changed to reflect that.

There’s still plenty of time to learn more about Resident Evil Veronica, which launches in 2027 for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. Between showcasing Chris Redfield, Albert Wesker and the potential return of Steve Burnside, fans are in for a busy couple of months.

She hasn’t had too long to train since her escape from Raccoon City in her previous canon appearance, a facet that the original game seems to have neglected when you think back to how agile she was in the opening hour. However, that’s being addressed. “In a short span of three months, Claire isn’t able to become an agent of the government or anything like that. The experience has changed her in some ways, and she has some training from her brother Chris.”

Aside from a more measured take on Claire, complete with a solid visual overhaul of her character model, the remake’s also looking to give us a better version of the story, making it more in line with the franchise’s established canon rather than a standalone adventure. “We respect the original, but I’ll ask you to think about the titles of recent Resident Evil games, such as Village and Requiem.” Hence why the team dropped “Code” from the title.

We’ve had some thoughts about what Veronica is bringing to the table, and the fact that Capcom is finally giving it the reverence it deserves isn’t lost on us. Of course, Hirabayashi maintained Capcom’s penchant for being as mysterious as it can be when it comes to concrete details about its upcoming projects, but we’re hoping to see changes that make the narrative fit well within the larger framework of the franchise’s lore after Requiem. How it manages to do that is anybody’s guess at this point, but if there’s any studio that can get it right, it’s Capcom.

We don’t have a concrete release date for this one yet, but it could very well come out before the end of this financial year, which could mean a launch by March 31st, 2027 at the latest.

She’s subsequently detained by a strange individual, who may very well be Hunk, before we see some quick snatches of the different environments. And don’t worry – the classic zombies of yore return in all their flesh-hungry glory.

Resident Evil – Code: Veronica has always held a special place in fans’ hearts. It was the fourth Resident Evil title before the official “4” and followed Claire Redfield after she escaped from Raccoon City to find Chris. It would lead to her capture by Umbrella and escape from Rockfort Island, dealing with all kinds of horrors.

Along the way, she learned more about the Ashcroft family, their role in the company’s founding and more. But more importantly, it was the first game in the series to feature fully rendered 3D environments. There’s also Steve Burnside, and really, the less said about him, the better.

With Albert Wesker and the HCF allegedly featuring more prominently, and apparently no cut content, Resident Evil Veronica could reach the same heights as its predecessors. It’s coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.

That said, there are terms and conditions. “What I’ve heard is Resident Evil Code Veronica in general is just a bit expanded, nothing is cut, some stuff heavily remixed (I hear it’s the Remake with the most things changed or happening differently than you may remember, but every enemy, location, major event, is there and much even expanded).”

That change also encompasses Chris Redfield. If you’ll recall, he kind of just…appeared in the original game out of nowhere. Since this will mark his younger self’s first appearance in the RE Engine remakes, his role has been expanded. However, he won’t be as prominent in the finale with the remake.

“Chris’s stuff is going to end earlier than it did in the original game, him having his own final boss fight with Wesker (now as a boss fight rather than a cutscene) much earlier in the story, get severely injured, leaving Claire to take over for the last part and final Alexia boss stuff.” This is in line with earlier reports about the latter having a larger role and being treated as the main character.

If there was any trepidation about the remake, despite the insane run that the series has been on for the past several years, fans can apparently rest assured. Kazunori Kadoi and Yasuhiro Anpo, who directed the remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4, are reportedly at the helm of Code: Veronica Remake.

In the meantime, we’ll likely see Resident Evil Requiem’s story DLC launching first, maybe even this year. It’s supposedly focused on Leon S. Kennedy, with Ada Wong potentially playing a role.
