Capcom has reportedly pushed Resident Evil Veronica back to fall 2027, giving its development team additional time to polish the upcoming remake. Insider Dusk Golem claims the decision was partly influenced by player feedback on Resident Evil Requiem, which has also affected development of the game’s planned story DLC.
According to Dusk Golem, who cited several reliable sources, Capcom went through an intense crunch period earlier this year while trying to get Resident Evil Veronica ready for the first quarter of 2027. The release target was later moved to the second quarter before shifting again to fall 2027.
The insider claims the remake could be released earlier, but Capcom has decided to use the additional development time to address medium-sized and smaller issues that could improve the finished game. The decision was reportedly influenced by the reception to Resident Evil Requiem, with the company taking a similar approach to its upcoming DLC.
Dusk Golem also said Capcom originally intended to release another trailer for Resident Evil Veronica before now. Those plans were delayed after the development team decided to spend more time working on the remake.
Capcom officially announced Resident Evil Veronica during Summer Game Fest in June 2026. The remake is being rebuilt from the ground up using the RE Engine and features third-person gameplay similar to the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4 remakes. It is currently scheduled for 2027 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2.
Development of the Resident Evil Requiem story DLC has reportedly been affected by the same feedback. Capcom confirmed the expansion following the game’s launch in early 2026, while cosmetic microtransactions and additional modes, including the Leon Must Die Forever challenge, arrived shortly afterward.
