The subsequent entries within the Resident Evil franchise to get the remake therapy will reportedly be 2000’s CODE: Veronica and 2002’s Zero. This might comply with Capcom’s development of delivering remakes of its previous titles, the newest being the 2023 Resident Evil 4 remake. The rumor comes from Nightfall Golem, a distinguished survival horror recreation leaker.
In a Twitter thread wherein Nightfall Golem gave an replace on the state of Resident Evil growth, they claimed that each CODE: Veronica and Zero remakes are “in growth proper now.” In addition they shut down the swirling rumors that the unique Resident Evil is getting a remake (which might be the second time it’s been remade), saying flatly that that is “bullshit.” Nevertheless, if leakers aren’t reliable sufficient for you, you don’t have to simply take Nightfall Golem’s phrase for it this time round: VGC journalist Andy Robinson appeared to corroborate the information on Twitter, saying “Take heed to this man” with reference to Nightfall Golem’s claims. Moreover, IGN reported on these leaks, lending extra credence to the rumors
That is excellent news for Resident Evil followers, because the group has been clamoring for a CODE: Veronica re-release since lengthy earlier than the RE2 remake in 2019 kickstarted Capcom’s development. The 2000 title, which was initially launched on the Sega Dreamcast, follows RE2 protagonist Claire Redfield in what many consider is the true sequel to the second recreation within the sequence. It’s develop into one thing of a cult traditional however hasn’t seen a launch because the remastered model in 2011 for PS3 and Xbox 360. Resident Evil Zero, a prequel to the unique Resident Evil, follows STARS member Rebecca Chambers; its story beats lead straight into the occasions that happen within the Spencer Mansion throughout RE1. It’s a extra uneven recreation that’s pretty divisive amongst RE followers, lots of whom see it because the most boring recreation within the sequence.
It could be complicated that each of those video games are simply being remade now. A CODE: Veronica remake would have particularly felt apt after both the RE2 or RE3 remakes have been launched. However maybe Capcom is lastly getting round to those two titles as a result of the opposite possibility isn’t an excellent one: The subsequent mainline entry that hasn’t but obtained the remake therapy is Resident Evil 5, a recreation whose most lasting legacy is its rampant racism and likewise that one scene the place Chris Redfield punches a boulder. Whereas the uneven RE6 might use a remake to clean out the mechanical points, RE5’s flaws are so deeply rooted within the characters, story, and world {that a} remake appears like courting controversy. So let’s be comfortable that we’re getting CODE: Veronica and Zero as a substitute.
