Resident Evil Veronica PS5

Even though it's not a numbered entry, Resident Evil: Code Veronica was every bit a mainline game on the PS2, and now its upcoming remake Resident Evil Veronica is primed for more Capcom success.

While it may have dropped the Code part of the title, Resident Evil Veronica has now picked up over one million wishlists after its unveiling last week.

This is only across PS5 and PC; the remake is not even available to wishlist on Nintendo Switch 2 or Xbox Series X|S yet, so the number of wishlists will only increase once it's possible on those platforms.

"Deranged terror awaits the 1 million of you who have wishlisted Resident Evil Veronica," said Capcom on social media. "Thank you!"

Resident Evil Veronica launches for PS5 in 2027, and it's set to remake the PS2 entry while making a lot of changes. It'll still be third-person, but there'll be "modernized gameplay, a reimagined storyline, and vividly detailed graphics".

The game is set three months after the Raccoon City disaster, and sees Claire Redfield searching for her brother Chris in Paris. However, some Umbrella forces capture Claire and take her to Rockfort Island, where much of the original title is set. "Now Claire must make a desperate attempt to escape the remote Rockfort Island which, due to another biological disaster, has transformed into a living hellscape of survival horror."

Along with Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, it's actually Code: Veronica X I have the most of my childhood gaming memories attached to. Since I wasn't actually allowed to play it at home, I went round to my neighbour's house and played it there. It was in my friend's horror-themed bedroom, complete with Jason Vorhess figures, where I played through the game.

I can't wait to play this PS5 reimagining in 2027.
