Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi confirmed to Famitsu magazine that the Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake, announced for 2027, will undergo adjustments to its narrative. The changes aim to make the story more coherent with Capcom's approach to previous remakes, ensuring consistency across the franchise.
According to Hirabayashi, the modifications do not diminish the original, instead, they seek to reinforce Code: Veronica's significance as a title equally important to the numbered entries in the series. The original 2002 Dreamcast release has always held an important place in Resident Evil's timeline, though it hasn't always received the recognition it deserved.
Capcom has remained faithful to the original stories in its remakes but remains willing to make adjustments when necessary to improve overall narrative coherence. Code: Veronica follows the pattern of recent franchise remakes, which balance respect for the source material with modern refinements.
