to the Resident Evil franchise Capcom is arguably in its best run of form in decades, particularly when it comes to its beloved survival horror Resident Evil franchise, with several successful entries launching in recent years
and it looks like the upcoming remake could join the party.

Announced on X , Capcom's upcoming Resident Evil Veronica has received a million wishlists across PS5 and PC (the only two platforms currently available for wishlist), in just under a week after its Summer Game Fest reveal. It has accomplished the high figure of wishlists faster than Resident Evil Requiem did, which took two weeks. If the name Resident Evil Veronica sounds familiar to you, that's because this is Capcom's remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica , the original which dates all the way back to 2000. It's one of, if not the, most requested remakes from Resident Evil fans, and those wishes have now been answered. Latest Videos From Watch full video here:

Instead of fan favourite Leon S. Kennedy featuring as the main focus, Capcom is taking us back to 1998 and we'll be following Claire Redfield instead, set three months after the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 remakes.

Capcom says its removed 'Code' from the remake's name, in attempt to align
the title closer to recent titles (e.g, Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil Requiem ), and frankly, while Veronica isn't a numbered title, it's
still considered to be just as important as one, effectively acting as a mainline entry in the franchise. You may like Capcom says new Resident Evil Requiem DLC requires main game completion Resident Evil 7 gave us the series' best DLC, and I hope Capcom takes note for Requiem's expansion The first Resident Evil movie trailer from Weapons director Zach Cregger is finally
here and it looks like the horror video game series is getting the
adaptation it deserves

There's plenty to be excited on what this remake will have to offer, especially because it won't simply be a graphical upgrade, but instead
feature major changes to the gameplay and narrative and unsurprisingly, the wishlists are a strong indication of fans' intrigue on what those changes
will be, as evident on Reddit .

The same development team responsible for the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4 remakes will be at the helm for Veronica , and if the success of those entries is anything to go by, we're in for a treat.
