Fans of the Resident Evil franchise have waited years for a Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake. Today, they might finally get their wish. Recently, Capcom triggered a massive franchise sale across all gaming platforms. Consequently, rumors are surging about an imminent reveal at today’s Summer Game Fest.
The Ultimate “Accidental” Hint
Historically, Capcom slashes prices right before revealing a new title. Right now, a major franchise sale spans PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch. Moreover, the Resident Evil 4 remake just hit its steepest discount ever. Players can currently grab the latest remake for just $9.99, representing a massive 75% price drop.
Reputable leaker Dusk Golem quickly pointed out this highly suspicious timing. The leaker noted the PC sale started yesterday, June 4. This places the record-low discount just one day before Summer Game Fest. Furthermore, Dusk Golem previously claimed Capcom would officially announce the Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake in 2026.

Resident Evil Code: Veronica to Fix the Chronological Gap
Capcom already delivered state-of-the-art RE Engine remakes for Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4. Strangely, developers skipped over Code: Veronica. Chronologically, this beloved game takes place right before the events of Resident Evil 4. Therefore, a new remake perfectly fills this glaring gap in the modern lineup.
Additionally, Capcom previously built an incredible release streak between 2019 and 2023. During that window, they released at least one new franchise game every year. Following the recent 2026 launch of Resident Evil Requiem, a Code: Veronica reveal could easily kick off a brand new annual streak.
What Else to Watch For?
Of course, Code: Veronica isn’t the only missing piece of the puzzle. Fans still want a Resident Evil Zero remake. Rumors also suggest a second remake for the original Resident Evil, which last saw a GameCube update back in 2002. Finally, a controversial Resident Evil 5 remake remains a highly discussed possibility within the community.
Gamers will not have to wait long for official answers. Fans also expect Capcom to reveal story DLC for Resident Evil Requiem. Viewers can tune into the Summer Game Fest presentation, which kicks off today, June 5, at 5 PM ET / 11 PM PKT.
