Capcom is adjusting the story of its upcoming Resident Evil Veronica remake to better connect with the broader series narrative. Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi shared the details during a Summer Game Fest Q&A session.
Hirabayashi, who leads the team behind the Resident Evil 2 and 4 remakes, noted that Code: Veronica holds a position on par with the main numbered titles. The changes aim to help players feel connections to newer entries like Resident Evil 7, Village, and Requiem as a cohesive whole.
The announcement trailer used a first-person viewpoint as a deliberate trick to create surprise. The final reveal showed Claire Redfield, and the game will use a traditional third-person perspective.
Capcom dropped the word Code from the original title. The remake is set for release on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC next year.
