Summary
- Fans demand a Code: Veronica remake with signs at wrestling shows.
- Code: Veronica remake signs have been spotted at AEW WrestleDream and WWE SmackDown.
- Rumors suggest a Code: Veronica remake is already in development.
Some Resident Evil fans have started taking signs to professional wrestling shows asking Capcom to develop a Code: Veronica remake. Capcom has been especially focused remaking Resident Evil games since 2019's Resident Evil 2. In the five years since, it's remade both Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 4, and word is that there are at least two more RE remakes in the pipeline.
Reputable leakers have said that Capcom is currently working on remakes of Code: Veronica and Resident Evil Zero. Still, fans have been anxious about Capcom potentially skipping Code: Veronica ever since the Resident Evil 4 remake was announced first despite taking place later in the timeline. Those individuals are making sure that the company doesn't forget their desire to see the classic survival-horror game remade for modern platforms.
Resident Evil Code Veronica Remake Gets Disappointing Update
The leaked Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake gets a disappointing update.
The new way that Resident Evil fans have been asking Capcom to remake Code: Veronica is by taking signs to professional wrestling shows. The first one was spotted at the AEW WrestleDream pay-per-view event, while the latest was seen on the latest episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown. Notably, the sign was visible during one of the show's Bloodline segments, which means millions of fans watching at home may now have a potential Code: Veronica remake on their mind.
Signs at Wrestling Shows Demand a Resident Evil Code: Veronica Remake
Set a few months after the Raccoon City incident depicted in Resident Evil 2 and 3, Code: Veronica sees protagonist Claire Redfield captured and held at Umbrella's Rockfort Island prison. A zombie outbreak gives her the chance to escape, though she finds herself at odds with the creepy Alfred Ashford and a surprise villain from the franchise's past. Code: Veronica is home to some of the most significant plot developments in the entire franchise, and so it's understandable that many fans were disappointed that Capcom skipped it in favor of doing a Resident Evil 4 remake first.
The good news is that the latest rumors suggest that a Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake is indeed in development. The bad news is that there's really no information on when exactly fans will be able to play the game. Resident Evil 9 is believed to be the next game that the series will have on offer, with some anticipating that game to be revealed sooner rather than later. Capcom has released a new Resident Evil game nearly every year since the franchise's debut in 1996, so chances are fans won't have to wait all that terribly long to get their hands on the Code: Veronica remake. It will be interesting to see if it continues to inspire signs at pro wrestling events in the meantime.
