Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake development delays, Digi Mart USA News: Capcom has had a strong 2026, driven by brisk sales of Resident Evil Requiem, but fans may not see new entries in the survival horror series as soon as expected. Two sources have discussed internal delays affecting Resident Evil Code: Veronica, with one journalist predicting a 2028 release date.
Gaming news provider Knoebel shared a negative assessment of the Code: Veronica remake in a Bluesky post that he later deleted; a ResetEra forum member captured the text. According to that captured text, Knoebel said development is in trouble and the project is way behind schedule, and he reportedly described the state of the game as a difficult one, while the source was apparently a private message and the claims remain unverified.
Longtime Capcom insider Dusk Golem posted a less severe update on social media. Golem reported that the Code: Veronica release date was initially Q1 2027, was later pushed to Q2, and then Fall 2027 became the target.
Golem believes the studio wants to fix medium or medium-small issues, with feedback from Resident Evil Requiem including a disconnect between the horror-focused Grace segments and Leon’s action sequences.
The same criticism is reportedly slowing the Requiem DLC, which may not appear for another year. Capcom announced the modernized Code: Veronica at Summer Game Fest in June 2026, and fans had expected a new trailer at The Game Awards in December, a scenario the report now describes as unlikely.
Knoebel also said the original development team, M-Two, stumbled before Division 1 replaced them on a rumored Resident Evil Zero remake, and Golem identified 2028 as a probable launch window for that project, though less is known about its recent progress.
