Fans of the survival horror genre have plenty to anticipate. A prominent leaker recently dropped major details about the future of the franchise. According to a leak published yesterday, June 23, Resident Evil (RE) Veronica and an unconfirmed Resident Evil (RE) Zero remake will connect directly to Resident Evil (RE) Requiem.
Currently, players eagerly await the RE Requiem DLC. Meanwhile, curiosity surrounds Capcom’s next moves. Reliable leaker Dusk Golem recently shared fresh details. Furthermore, Dusk Golem boasts a strong track record. They accurately predicted the 2026 Code: Veronica remake announcement. Additionally, they correctly denied rumors about Chris and Ada appearing in Requiem.
Concurrent Development Builds Connections
Dusk Golem claims that RE Veronica, RE Requiem, and the rumored RE Zero remake experienced concurrent development. Consequently, this overlapping schedule allowed developers to weave the games together. Requiem currently features a myriad of Easter eggs that reference prior games. Therefore, players can expect the upcoming remakes to reinforce these established narrative connections.
Recently, some rumors suggested Capcom wanted to remake the entire franchise to restructure the overarching narrative. However, Dusk Golem firmly debunked this claim. They stated that Capcom has no overarching plan to remake every game up to RE7. Instead, the developer takes the process one step at a time.
Furthermore, this step-by-step approach brings bad news for some players. Capcom is not currently developing remakes for RE5 or RE6. The studio has no internal plans to tackle these sequels right now. Nevertheless, a glimmer of hope remains. If the upcoming titles achieve the massive sales success of the RE2 remake, Capcom might greenlight RE5 and RE6 remakes down the road.
Capcom’s Projected Resident Evil Release Timeline
While fans must take leaks with a grain of salt, Dusk Golem provided a clear roadmap for the franchise. First, the highly anticipated Resident Evil (RE) Veronica will launch in 2027. Next, the rumored Resident Evil (RE) Zero remake will follow in 2028. Finally, a brand-new mainline entry, Resident Evil (RE) 10, will arrive in 2029.
If these rumors prove true, survival horror fans will enjoy a steady stream of content over the next few years. For now, players must wait to see how the 2027 release handles story expansions and its alleged ties to Requiem.
