After an explosive premiere at Summer Game Fest, Resident Evil Veronica, Capcom’s next big remake, has seemingly gone radio silent. One event after another has yielded no new trailer ahead of its 2027 release, and that continues after rumors of an internal delay to next Fall.
Insider AestheticGamer, aka Dusk Golem, has tweeted that they’ve heard “several times pretty reliably” about what’s happening. Apparently, Capcom was aiming for Q1 2027 and entered a “busy crunch period” earlier this year. When it reportedly wasn’t possible, the release internally slipped to Q2 2027 and now Fall (which is also why a new trailer, allegedly planned to release by now, hasn’t aired).
“They COULD release the game, but especially after Requiem feedback, they want to take the time to fix medium or medium-small issues that’d make it a better game in late development than just push it out.” He also reaffirmed that Resident Evil Requiem’s story DLC is allegedly taking more time because of the same feedback.
“In the short term it’s annoying, but long term the reasoning for this is simply they want to be responsive to Requiem’s feedback and take their time for quality; things just align here.”
As of early August, Resident Evil Veronica crossed two million wishlists, so it makes sense for Capcom to take time and deliver on the hype. The real question now is when Requiem’s story DLC could arrive, especially since it’s reportedly meant to bridge the gap between major releases.
While apparently planned to launch after Veronica, it wouldn’t be surprising if it lands in early 2028. In the meantime, stay tuned for more details, ideally in the coming months. On the bright side, at least Resident Evil Requiem continues to perform well, crossing 8.5 million sales since launching earlier this year. There’s also positive buzz after the Resident Evil movie, which has grossed $400 million worldwide.
