The release of the new Resident Evil: Veronica may be longer than previously expected. The title is said to have been delayed internally, according to a new internal report.
Capcom has been quite successful this year, thanks also to Resident Evil. It’s no wonder people want to continue to rely on this famous horror series in the future. Next up is the Code Veronica remake, originally released in 2000, but the wait may be longer than previously expected.
(2/3) I’m speaking directly from myself, so if you trust me to do my best to share this stuff, I guess you should take it with a grain of salt, but I’m starting to believe it’s true. It also vaguely explains to me why it might skip TGS and not the other mainline Resident Evil games

After Resident Evil: Veronica skipped Gamescom and Tokyo Game Show, well-known industry insider AestheticGamer (aka Dusk Golem) is now taking to social media to talk about the game. As a result, he has heard three times from three different sources that the planned launch has most likely been delayed until the fall of 2027.
Closer to home: Even though there’s no official announcement yet, it’s widely believed that the game is expected to be released in the first half of 2027. This, again, has been a typical release time for franchise spin-offs in the past, and Capcom seems to be moving away from that now. Regardless, those familiar with the matter are increasingly convinced that something is wrong.
(4/4) Like it and maybe decide to make some more ambitious changes. This was definitely not what they planned from the beginning, but hey, I do understand that video game development is chaotic, and keep in mind that Capcom never publicly announced a release date, so it’s not an official delay as anything was never promised

For background, it’s said that Capcom apparently “made some late-stage changes to the game.” These changes may take longer than initially expected.
