‘RE2’ Remake’s Claire Actress Interested in Returning For Potential ‘Code: Veronica X’ Remake
While it might not be anything, given the obvious recent success of the Resident Evil 2 remake, and Capcom’s willingness to revive past properties that could use a revisit (including Dino Crisis), this is worth mentioning.
In case you weren’t aware, the actress who portrayed Claire in the RE2 remake, Stephanie Panisello, has a Twitch channel. During a playthrough of the RE2 remake (naturally) Stephanie mentions that she’d be up for a returning for a remake of Code: Veronica X should Capcom decide to go through with it. Again, no mention by Capcom if they’ve even started thinking of doing a C:VX remake (let alone a Resident Evil 3: Nemesis remake), but you know that Capcom is looking at possibilities.
Speaking of possibilities, the aforementioned Dino Crisis also came up during Steph’s stream when a fan asked if she’d be interested in being Regina for a theoretical remake. Steph responded that it “[would] be sweet” if Capcom actually did approach her for the role. “I’ve seen the love for Dino Crisis, guys. That’s wild!” Again, no word (yet) from Capcom on that front. But in the meantime, at least we’ve got a fan-made remake currently underway.
Moon Studios dropped a new trailer during the Sony State of Play for their dark action-RPG No Rest for the Wicked, while also hinting at the long-awaited launch window for the full 1.0 release. The game, which has been in Early Access on Steam since April 2024, will be launching this October in full for PlayStation 5 and PC via Steam, while versions for the Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2 will arrive at a later date.
As a token of appreciation for supporters new and old, Moon Studios is offering an exclusive Early Access Founder’s Pack, a free limited edition bundle available for anyone who purchases the game on Steam prior to July 10, with rewards unlocking when 1.0 officially launches. PlayStation 5 users can receive the Early Access Founder’s Pack by pre-ordering the game once available, any time before launch day.
The Founder’s Pack includes:
- A New Secret Hideout: Spirit Cavern – The legacy of Moon Studios now lives inside No Rest for the Wicked, exclusively for Founders. A hand-crafted home that bridges both worlds.

As for the full 1.0 release, it will be a massive expansion of the core experience, introducing a staggering 60+ hours of new content, a new horde mode, powerful new weapons, bosses and enemies, new areas and a completely reimagined class system.
In No Rest for the Wicked, players take on the role of a “Cerim,” a member of a holy order imbued with mysterious powers, tasked with destroying the Pestilence, an ancient plague that has begun to consume the island Isola Sacra, itself already the site of great political upheaval and death.
