Players exploring Resident Evil Requiem have spotted in-game easter eggs that appear to reference Code: Veronica, fueling remake rumors. Discoveries include a wine bottle labeled 'Avernico,' an anagram of Veronica, and a hotel guest named Veronica. While some hints face skepticism, they align with Capcom's pattern of teasing future projects.
In Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth mainline entry, fans have identified potential nods to Resident Evil – Code: Veronica. A wine bottle in the bar lounge at Rhodes Hill bears the label 'Avernico,' which unscrambles to 'Veronica,' as highlighted by Suzi Hunter on X on March 5, 2026. Another find in the Wrenwood Hotel registry lists a guest named Veronica, shared by Resident Leo on March 29, 2026, noting Alyssa as the ninth guest, matching the game's sequence position. Wooden toy blocks spelling out 'C,' 'N' (or 'Z'), '1,' and '6' or '9' have sparked theories linking to Code: Veronica, Resident Evil Zero, the original Resident Evil, and Resident Evil 6 or Requiem itself, per a post by Ramis on March 5, 2026. Skepticism persists, with Redditors noting the hotel name 'Veronica Galibardi' likely honors an Italian localization staffer, and other registry names matching real team members. The toy blocks interpretation draws criticism as overly speculative. The wine bottle remains a point of intrigue amid longstanding remake rumors from multiple sources. Capcom has a track record of embedding future hints in Resident Evil titles built on the RE Engine, such as Mother Miranda foreshadowing in Resident Evil 7 and Dr. Victor Gideon in Resident Evil Village. Recent remakes include Resident Evil 2 in 2019, Resident Evil 3 in 2020, and Resident Evil 4 in 2023, leaving Code: Veronica—the oldest unremade mainline game—as a logical candidate.
