Resident Evil Code: Veronica Surges in Popularity as Capcom Prepares for New Release

The Resident Evil Veronica remake has already surpassed 2 million wishlists, even amid reports of a potentially higher price point.

Capcom has not yet announced a release date for Resident Evil Veronica, which was revealed at Summer Game Fest. The premiere might not be announced until late in the year at The Game Awards. Despite this, player interest is already massive.

Months ahead of release, Resident Evil Veronica has been added to the wishlists of more than 2 million players. These are not pre-orders, but the metric demonstrates high audience interest in the new horror title. Player trust likely stems from Capcom’s successful releases in recent years.

Resident Evil Veronica may also launch at a higher price than the company’s previous projects. If this information is confirmed, high demand could secure record revenue for the game in its very first days of sales.

Resident Evil Veronica will be a modern remake of the cult classic Resident Evil Code: Veronica, which originally launched in 2000. The developers promise updated graphics along with significant changes to the story, locations, combat system, and gameplay structure to adapt the classic for modern standards.
