Overview
- Capcom producer Masachika Kawata told outlets in late July that the company aims to deliver a Resident Evil title each year by alternating new mainline entries with remakes.
- Capcom has officially confirmed a Code: Veronica remake is planned for 2027 as the next entry in that remake cycle.
- Resident Evil Requiem launched earlier in 2026 and Capcom is developing a story DLC for Requiem featuring Leon Kennedy.
- Kawata says remakes generate revenue that funds new projects such as Pragmata and help development teams sharpen technical and design skills.
- Capcom warns that concentrating resources on mainline games and remakes limits capacity for spin‑offs and that third‑party leaks about an RE1 remake remain unverified.
