Following a report yesterday that a remake of Resident Evil 4 was in development, various members of the community here at Pure Xbox suggested Resident Evil: Code Veronica should get the treatment instead. And according to a prominent leaker, that still could happen with enough fan support.
Dusk Golem, who has previously shared lots of information on the Resident Evil franchise, suggested "if you want [a] Code Veronica remake, let your voices be heard", hinting that Capcom listens to fan feedback:
That's not the only news the Twitter user shared, going on to suggest the upcoming remake of Resident Evil 4 has a larger development team than Resident Evil 2 and 3, and confirming it's been in development since 2018, but may not be officially revealed for a year or more.
Earlier this morning, Capcom also shared the news that Resident Evil 3 has shipped two million copies in five days, with digital versions of the game accounting for nearly 50% of sales. The company also noted the Resident Evil 2 remake has now sold over 6.5 million cumulative units.

Code: Veronica should have been in development before RE4. I am surprised Capcom couldn’t realize this. My main concern here is the obvious issue with franchise fatigue.
They seem to be intent on releasing a RE game every year, whether it be a new game or remaster. And we have seen how that has worked out with other franchises in the past.
Yeah, Code Veronica, please. Let's tuit Capcom!
Do you think they'll go all the way to Resident Evil 7?
I just beat 5 (again) and I think that it's a great game (the Gold/current-generation version), the only "problem" with 5 is that it's a shooter with just one puzzle where you have to think a little bit and that the survival horror is nowhere to be found (the inventory system in real time can be frustrating, too) but it's a brilliant game that does some things better than 4. I also liked 6 more than most people but of course it's not a focused game but has a lot of good parts. 4 is not flawless, the last third part is a repetitive and the camera is fixed and pointing a bit upwards. 7 is great but I miss the old characters and I'm not a fan of the first-person view. 2 Remake is awesome and I haven't played 3 Remake yet. Zero is a bit frustrating because of the small inventory space and continuous backtracking and, in my opinion, 1 Remake is the best Resident Evil game (and one of the best games ever). Code Veronica is the most fascinating entry and the only one that really needs a remake now.
Capcom listens to the fans? If that were true then a Code Veronica remake would already be on the table instead of a 'if there's enough support' kind of deal. There were a lot of people clamoring for a CV remake, unfortunately the ones who want a RE 4 remake drowned us out, which doesn't even make sense because 4 doesn't need one.
@BlueOcean I agree with many of your points! 5's partner AI is a big issue for me, but otherwise it's a solid game. 6 is way better than some people say. I must admit though, I'm one of few people that wouldn't be bothered if they just left Code Veronica alone.
I wonder if they would ever remake Resident Evil 0 or 1 in the same style as the RE 2 and 3 remakes?
@Olliemar28 Yep, AI and the real-time inventory are crazy.
