Resident Evil\u2019s overall timeline can be a little hard to follow depending upon your entry point to the series. But producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi has emphasized that, with Resident Evil Veronica, Capcom is reworking the story to make sure its place in the chronology is clear, while ensuring the remake keeps what fans loved about the original.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Japanese news outlet Famitsu<\/u><\/a> reported on a recent Summer Games Fest<\/a> press conference with Hirabayashi on the Resident Evil \u2013 Code: Veronica remake, due out in 2027.<\/p>\n

The original Code: Veronica was released 27 years ago, and there have been many Resi games released since then. Story-wise, Hirabayashi noted that for the Veronica remake Capcom has been taking into account plotlines in other games that connect back to events in Veronica.<\/p>\n

In the last decade, the Resident Evil franchise has gained even more story and lore with RE7, RE8: Village, and RE9 (plus the RE2, RE3, and RE4 remakes). \u201cWith Resident Evil Veronica, we are planning to restructure the story so that players can clearly feel how all of these titles are part of one cohesive series,\u201d explained Hirabayashi.<\/p>\n

Asked if Resident Evil Veronica will stick to the source material while implementing bold changes like the Resident Evil 2 remake, Hirabayashi said \u201cyes,\u201d broadly-speaking. However, rest assured that this doesn\u2019t mean change for the sake of change. “What’s most important for the dev team at Capcom is putting the players\u2019 memories first, and then rebuilding the game on top of that,\u201d said Hirabayashi. This echoes Requiem producer Kumazawa\u2019s recent comments<\/u><\/a> that future Resident Evil games will “preserve the core elements of the series,” and stay true to established characters and settings, while experimenting with different ideas.<\/p>\n
