Resident Evil remakes are always exciting. I’m a lifelong Resi fan, and I can honestly say that the remakes are among the very best experiences in the franchise; Capcom certainly knew what it was doing back in 2019 when it released the Resident Evil 2 remake, with both the third and fourth mainline entries receiving the same treatment in 2020 and 2023, respectively. New rumors reinforce that there are more of them on the way, and I couldn’t be more excited.
Dusk Golem, a well-known leaker of the Resident Evil games, took to X to claim that two new Resident Evil games are coming in 2027 and 2028, with the pair of them being remakes. Naturally, your mind might immediately go to a Resident Evil 5 remake. Capcom has done them for 2, 3, and 4, so the next logical step is RE5, right? Wrong. At least, according to Dusk.
It’s good news for me. While I’d welcome another trip to Africa with open arms, I’ve long dreamed of a Resident Evil Code Veronica remake, and the recent leaks claim that’s one of the two horror games that are on the way. One of the reasons I love it so much is that you get to play as Resident Evil’s Claire Redfield once more, and Chris’s younger sister is a certified badass in my books. Once again, the siblings need to survive a virus outbreak, but this time it’s on a remote prison island.
