Capcom’s latest survival horror game, Resident Evil Requiem, appears to contain Resident Evil – Code: Veronica Easter eggs, hinting at the existence of the latter’s often rumored remake.
With the recent arrival of a Photo Mode in Resident Evil Requiem, fans have had the opportunity to closely examine the game’s environmental assets for hidden clues, as the developer is known for dropping hints regarding future entries in every prior title developed using RE Engine. For example, in Resident Evil Village, there’s a picture of an early version of Dr. Victor Gideon hung up on Karl Heisenberg’s conspiracy wall in his factory, who ended up being the main villain in the latest entry. Twitter/X users TheSphereHunter and RacconSurvivor have discovered similar Easters eggs in Resident Evil Requiem that hint at the existence of the previously rumored Resident Evil – Code: Veronica remake.
Resident Evil – Code: Veronica Easter Eggs In Requiem
The aforementioned Easter eggs discovered in Resident Evil Requiem can be seen in the screenshots below.
The first screenshot is from Wrenwood’s hotel register. The post-launch addition of a Photo Mode in Resident Evil Requiem has made it possible to read the writing clearly, revealing that one of the guests is named Veronica. Furthermore, not only was Alyssa Ashcroft the last guest, but also the ninth. Meanwhile, the second screenshot is taken in the bar lounge in the Rhodes Hill Center. One of the bottles there is labeled with the text, “AVERNICO”. Re-arranging the alphabets results in the word, “VERONICA”.
The aforementioned Easter eggs indicate that Capcom considers Resident Evil – Code: Veronica an important part of the series’ lore. As such, there’s some weight to rumors regarding a remake being in development. Known insiders Nate the Hate and Dusk Golem have both claimed that the remake exists, and is set for release sometime during 2027. Furthermore, voice actor Craig Burnatowski, who played the role of Albert Wesker in the Resident Evil 4 remake and its Separate Ways expansion, recently teased a return.
