Resident Evil Code Veronica Remake Expands Scope with Semi-Open World and Enhanced Wesker Role
Capcom demonstrated its ability to keep major projects confidential when Resident Evil Requiem was announced back in August 2025. Not all projects remain so closely guarded, however. According to Dusk Golem, a trusted unofficial source for horror games, the Resident Evil Code Veronica Remake is currently in development. The team behind the Resident Evil 4 Remake is primarily developing it as their next project to revamp classic titles. Dusk Golem indicates that the remake’s production is progressing well, with Capcom Dev 1 meeting all internal deadlines. Yasuhiro Anpo and Kazunori Kadoi, directors of Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 4 Remake, are leading the project and are expanding the game’s scope. Rumors, also shared by Dusk Golem, suggest the Resident Evil Code Veronica Remake will feature a small, semi-open world where Claire can use her motorcycle to evade various threats, including an expanded role for Wesker.
