Fan Remake of ‘Resident Evil – Code: Veronica’ to Have First Chapter Released Next Month
As the saying goes, if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. That’s what a group of fans have decided to do after Capcom has apparently overlooked doing a remake of Resident Evil – Code: Veronica in favour of Resident Evil 4.
Resident Evil — Code: Veronica Remake has been in the works for a while now, with recent news coming out that the game will have its first chapter released for free next month for PC. The project is also hoping for a console release, as well. How this will fly with Capcom remains to be seen, although as we saw with Daymare: 1998 (which was originally a fan-led remake of Resident Evil 2), Capcom might be cool with it.
The team behind Code: Veronica Remake is aiming to reimagine and adapt the game for modern audiences, similar to how Capcom reworked the classic formula with Resident Evil 2, “so you can relive the events of Rockfort Island in a whole new way.”
The title will consist of two modes: Classic and Remake. Remake mode will sport a third-person camera and “faithful but expanded scenarios”, while Classic mode will have the original fixed camera and “scenarios recreated and faithful to the original.”
One would think that with fans taking it upon themselves to remake or create “spiritual successors” to games like Code: Veronica or Dino Crisis that Capcom would catch on and do something themselves, but who knows? Maybe they have something in store later this year?

Xbox owners feeling left out over SFB Games’ throwback Survival Horror title Crow Country coming to Steam and PlayStation? Never fear, as the developer has secured an Xbox Series release via the Microsoft Store, which will launch on May 9th as the other platforms. And to celebrate, Xbox owners also get a new trailer announcing Crow Country coming to the platform alongside the PlayStation 5 and PC.
In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the original PlayStation, Crow Country takes place in the year 1990. It’s been two years since the mysterious disappearance of Edward Crow and the abrupt closure of his theme park, the eponymous Crow Country. You are Mara Forest, and you’re searching for some answers from Crow. You’ll need to venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its Crow’s sudden disappearance.
Crow Country will see you immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister world evocative of late 90s pre-rendered graphics. You’ll need to make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of the amusement park.
Monsters aren’t your only problem, however. Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, requiring you to overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the truth. And for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere without having to battle against the inhabitants of the park, there’s the “Exploration Mode”, which switches off the combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploration.
Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. You can also check out the demo on Steam.
