‘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.
Capcom has kicked off their summer with a new Capcom Spotlight stream, which included a new five-minute “Game Overview” trailer for Onimusha: Way of the Sword. The trailer reveals a new foe that players will duel in the upcoming swordplay action game which launches on September 25 across PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series, the Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
The footage provides a first look at Dohatsu-ten, a terrifyingly fast and bloodthirsty Genma. After carving its way into the mortal realm, this winged warrior from the depths of hell locks blades with protagonist Miyamoto Musashi in an intense boss battle.
And in case you missed it, pre-orders for Onimusha: Way of the Sword are available now, and include the “Sealed Curse” sword skin and “Lion Dog” charm as bonuses. You can also check out the demo on all platforms (save for the Switch 2).
Onimusha: Way of the Sword returns to a dark fantasy feudal Japan where samurai clash with the supernatural in cutting-edge combat. The game takes place in Kyoto during the early Edo period. In this time of relative peace for Japan, Malice has befallen the ancient city. Twisted into an eerie and unsettling place, Kyoto has been infested by the demonic Genma.
