Capcom's upcoming survival horror game, 'Resident Evil RE: Veronica,' has surpassed 2 million wishlists just two months after its announcement. The title is a reimagining of the 2000 original, 'Resident Evil Code: Veronica,' arriving 26 years later, and is scheduled for release on PC and consoles in 2027.

Capcom shared an image on its official X account to celebrate the 2-million-wishlist milestone, stating, "We send a biscuit of gratitude to the 2 million users who have added the game to their wishlists." The image features the woman who appeared in the game's initial reveal, wearing a bright smile.

The game was first unveiled during the opening show of 'Summer Game Fest 2026' in Los Angeles on June 5 (local time). It reached 1 million combined wishlists on Steam and PlayStation 5 within five to six days of its reveal, and registration later opened for Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2. It took approximately 60 days for the game to go from its reveal to hitting the 2-million-wishlist mark.

'Resident Evil RE: Veronica' takes place three months after the Raccoon City incident. Claire Redfield, who survived alongside Leon, heads to France to find her brother Chris, but is captured by Umbrella special forces and transported to Rockfort Island. The story centers on her attempt to escape the island after another biological disaster breaks out.

The original game is considered a vital link in the series, connecting the early titles to the events of 'Resident Evil 5' through the reunion of the Redfield siblings and the return of Albert Wesker. Although it lacks a numbered title, it is widely regarded as being as significant to the overall narrative as any main entry. As it was excluded from the recent string of remakes for 'Resident Evil 2' through '4,' it is a title fans have been waiting for for a long time.

For this remake, Capcom has dropped 'Code' from the title, naming it 'Resident Evil RE: Veronica' in Japan and Korea, and 'Resident Evil Veronica' internationally. The development team explained that they view the original as being just as important as the numbered entries, and the decision follows the recent series trend of using a single word to represent each game's theme.

The game will be powered by Capcom's proprietary RE Engine, with plans to modernize the gameplay while preserving the core experience of the original, alongside a complete reconstruction of the story and graphics. While the reveal trailer used a first-person perspective to obscure the game's true nature, the actual title is being developed in the third-person style seen in 'Resident Evil RE: 2' and 'RE: 4.'

The game will be released on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC (Steam). The PS5 version will support DualSense haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, as well as performance enhancements for the PS5 Pro. Detailed system requirements for the PC version have not yet been disclosed.

Furthermore, the exact release date, pricing, editions, and pre-order details have not been announced. Currently, users can only add the game to their wishlists on each storefront rather than purchasing or pre-ordering. More detailed information can be found on the Steam page.
