Resident Evil Veronica was revealed last June at Summer Game Fest after much speculation, and, suffice to say, the hype went into overdrive. It crossed one million wishlists in very short order, and while it’s taken a bit longer, the title is now at over two million wishlists.
For comparison’s sake, Resident Evil Requiem, which had more trailers and details released beforehand, took about four months to reach that same milestone. How much more will Veronica’s wishlists increase in that same window, especially if the first gameplay debuts – perhaps at an event like Gamescom Opening Night Live or even Tokyo Game Show?
Time will tell, but it may be a bit longer before pricing is revealed and pre-orders go live. Resident Evil Veronica is rumored to launch in the first half of 2027, and based on Capcom’s previous releases, it wouldn’t be surprising if it arrived by the end of the fiscal year (i.e. March 31st).
The remake is coming to Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2 sometime next year. We know its gameplay is in third-person, despite the announcement trailer primarily being in first-person, and Yasuhiro Anpo and Kazunori Kadoi of Resident Evil 2 and 4 Remakes fame return to helm the project. However, the former is the sole director this time while the latter serves as associate director.
