[Trailer] Fan Group Announces ‘Resident Evil Code: Veronica’ and ‘Resident Evil’ Remakes Coming This Year

Published

on

Back in June, the Code: Veronica Remake fan group dropped a demo for PC showing off the fan-made remake of Resident Evil Code: Veronica. The group has now announced that the game will see the light of day later this year! Not only that, but we have a new trailer to go along with the announcement.

No specific date was announced for the game, although the game will be broken up into three chapters lasting about four hours each. Many of the elements that fans experienced with Capcom’s Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 remake are being used for this fan game, such as the new dodge system.

Once the game is out the door, the group plans on introducing new game modes through a vote on their website. Best of all, the game will be totally free!

Code: Veronica isn’t the only game the group has in mind, as they’ve also been hard at work on the remake of the Resident Evil remake, for which they’ve also released a new trailer and announced that this too will see a 2022 release!

New to this remake of REmake will be the RPD, which you’ll be checking out prior to the incidents at the Spencer Mansion. You’ll also be making use of a flashlight to navigate the mansion’s darker areas. Once again, you’ll be making use of the dodge to avoid being attacked. You’ll also have to deal with ammo scarcity, so inventory management is crucial.

Lastly, as a bit of caution, the group does state that these projects are being done without Capcom’s involvement, and if Capcom comes down on them, then they’ll have to pull the plug on both projects. However, in the case of Daymare: 1998, Capcom was pretty cool with Invader Studios, and even included them in the RE2 remake credits. These two remakes aren’t quite the same thing, however. Fingers crossed!

‘Toxic Crusaders’ – Retroware’s Side-Scrolling Beat-‘Em-Up Coming Fall 2024

Toxic Crusaders video game

Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.

Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.

Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.

In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!

“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”

Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here.  Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.

Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.

Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
