A reliable Resident Evil insider has claimed that the main reason for Veronica’s reported delay is because of the response to Requiem and some of the common complaints it faced.
It’s easy to forget considering how absolutely stacked 2026 has been, but it’s not even been a year since Resident Evil Requiem launched and gave us the series’ biggest game to date. Despite that, Capcom clearly doesn’t plan on slowing down, as it followed up Leon's return with the reveal of the long-rumoured Code Veronica remake.
Resident Evil Veronica’s showstopping Summer Game Fest reveal is coming up on being half a year ago, and we’ve heard literally nothing about it since then. A reliable Resident Evil insider recently claimed this is because of a delay that’s pushed the game into Fall 2027, and they’ve now shared why that was done.
Earlier today, AestheticGamer1 responded to a post on Twitter complaining about The Game Awards and Summer Game Fest getting all of the Resident Evil reveals. In response, Dusk explained that the lack of marketing for Veronica and the Requiem DLC isn’t tied to that, and that it’s actually due to the game’s development.
Capcom delivers its most nuanced combination of action and horror yet with Resident Evil Requiem.
According to them, Capcom was in a “busy crunch period” earlier in the year to try and get Veronica out in the first quarter of 2027, which slipped back to Q2 and eventually to Fall. AestheticGamer1 says that Capcom could have released Veronica in early 2027 but, “especially after Requiem feedback”, it wants to give both it and the still unseen story DLC more time.
