Capcom is reportedly set to reveal its next Resident Evil remake “later this year.”
Dusk Golem, a Capcom insider with a respectable track record of accurate Resident Evil leaks, claimed that an official announcement of a Code Veronica remake is planned for 2026.
No, there is NOT a Resident Evil 5 Remake that's going to be announced this year. Instead, later this year a RE Remake that starts with "(C)" & ends "(ode Veronica)" is going to be announced, I promise you.

Dusk Golem’s post was prompted after speculation of a potential Resident Evil 5 remake began circulating online. This began after Eva La Dare, voice actress for Sheva Alomar from the original 2009 title, teased on Twitter she had “a few fun things” planned for March and used several Resident Evil-related hashtags. Dusk Golem is adamant, however, that a Resident Evil 5 remake announcement is not planned, at least for this year.
Resident Evil: Code Veronica originally released on the Sega Dreamcast in 2000. It continued the story of Resident Evil 2 heroine Claire Redfield, as well as her brother Chris from the first installment.
Given the success of the Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 remakes in recent years, another remake in Capcom’s pipeline has not been a question of “if” for the fandom, but rather “which game?”
Resident Evil Requiem, the next mainline entry set to release next month, was prominently highlighted in last week’s live Resident Evil Showcase presentation. Capcom revealed details on the game’s “new breed of infected”, as well as a new blood-based crafting system and the return of ink ribbons.
