New details have emerged for Capcom’s next Resident Evil remake, confirming support for amiibo and HDR.
Spotted by journalist Felipe Lima (via GoNintendo), the features were confirmed on the Japanese listing for Resident Evil Veronica on the Nintendo eShop.
Further specifics have yet to be revealed, but this may indicate that new Resident Evil amiibo figures are on the way. Grace Ashcroft and Leon Kennedy amiibo, coinciding with this year’s release of Resident Evil Requiem, will launch on July 30th – so figures based on Veronica protagonists Claire Redfield, Chris Redfield, and/or Steve Burnside may not be out of the question.
HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a technology that enhances picture quality by expanding the range of contrast and color, allowing for brighter whites and deeper blacks. It was previously supported by Requiem.
The original Resident Evil Code: Veronica launched on the Sega Dreamcast in 2000. An enhanced port, Code: Veronica X, later released across various platforms over the following years.
The game stars Resident Evil 2 protagonist Claire Redfield who, after escaping Raccoon City, is on a mission to find her missing brother, Chris. After a failed attempt to raid an Umbrella facility, Claire finds herself imprisoned on Rockfort Island, where she and ally Steve Burnside must survive a deadly T-virus outbreak and the wrath of the deranged Alfred Ashford.
