A newly released comparison video is giving fans a closer look at Resident Evil Veronica and how Capcom is approaching its remake of the classic Resident Evil Code: Veronica.
The side-by-side comparison focuses on several locations and characters featured in the game’s reveal trailer, highlighting the substantial visual improvements made using Capcom’s RE ENGINE. One of the most notable areas shown is Rockfort Island, the primary setting of the original game, which has been recreated with significantly more detail and environmental realism.
The comparison also offers a closer look at key characters from the story, including Claire Redfield, Steve Burnside, and Alfred Ashford. While the original game relied on the technical limitations of its era, the remake presents the cast with more realistic character models, facial details, and animations.
Several familiar locations from the original release are also featured in the footage, demonstrating how Capcom is modernizing iconic environments while maintaining their recognizable layouts and atmosphere. The updated visuals suggest the studio is following a similar philosophy to its recent Resident Evil remakes, preserving the core identity of the source material while rebuilding it with contemporary technology.
Capcom officially announced Resident Evil Veronica during Summer Game Fest 2026. The remake brings back Claire Redfield as the central protagonist and revisits the events of the original survival horror adventure set on the zombie-infested Rockfort Island.
According to Capcom, the game will feature modernized gameplay systems while retaining the survival horror elements that made the original a fan favorite. The company has also promised a more immersive and realistic presentation, with the RE ENGINE powering the game’s environments, creatures, and characters.
Resident Evil Veronica is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. The remake is scheduled to launch in 2027, with additional details expected to be shared in the months ahead.
