If the announcement of the remake of Resident Evil 4 delighted fans of Capcom's survival horror, some would have preferred that the developers of the house opt for Resident Evil: Code Veronica, an episode also cult since it was the first to swap the usual fixed sets for real-time 3D. Two years ago, insider AestheticGamer claimed that after the development of Resident Evil Village, it was not impossible that a remake of Code Veronica would be on the table. "Let me tell you that if you absolutely want to have a remake of Resident Evil: Code Veronica, let it know, express yourself to Capcom, he explained on Twitter. Once the development of Resident Evil 8 is complete, the guys will have to tackle another project, and I know the executives make a point of listening to the fans, all of which makes me think that after Resident Evil 8, Code Veronica might be on the table if Capcom thinks there is an interest."
Recently, the Noisy Pixel site had the opportunity to discuss with Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, the producer of Resident Evil. Our colleagues asked him if we should expect other remakes after that of Resident Evil 4, and more particularly one concerning Resident Evil: Code Veronica. According to him, such a project is not currently being studied within Capcom, but perhaps the teams would think about it if the opportunity were to arise. Pure waffle as we are used to.
It is recalled that Resident Evil: Code Veronica was first released on Dreamcast in 2000, and that it allows to embody Claire Redfield party in search of her brother Chris. Captured and incarcerated in a prison located on the island of Rockfort, she quickly understands that the Virus-T has spread everywhere.
