Fan Group Shows off Gameplay for ‘Resident Evil Code: Veronica’ Remake [Video]
If you’re excited for the upcoming fan-made Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake (and who isn’t?), the team behind the remake has dropped a new video showing off the first five minutes of gameplay. Created by Matt Croft, Briins Croft and DarkNemesisUmbrella, the free-to-play remake is still aiming for a release later this year.
As for the gameplay video itself, it kicks off after Claire has been captured on Rockfort Island, and having just been released from her prison cell. The remake is running in Unity, with the video being captured in real time. It’s also not to be considered the final representation of the game itself, as there will be tweaks made leading up to the final release.
Sadly, there’s no zombie action to speak of with the footage, but the footage does show off the team’s work with the environment.
As for whether Capcom will come down on the Code: Veronica remake project, that remains to be seen. There’s the obligatory disclaimer at the start of the gameplay video, but that might not be enough to dissuade Capcom. We’ll just have to see.
Meanwhile, the team is also behind a remake of the 2002 Resident Evil remake, which is also slated for release later this year.

Bits and pieces of the cancelled DOOM 4 project have made their way online over the years in various forms, and it’s no exception with the latest batch of media. Per Video Games Chronicle, X users @Runhob and @WadOverdose, who previously had posted unreleased material from the cancelled shooter, over the weekend released more images, including a piece of concept art that until now had only been available in cropped images on Instagram.
@Runhob over the weekend posted the aforementioned concept art by concept artist Christian Piccolo, depicting an epic vision of Hell. The original piece had been posted to Piccolo’s Instagram back in 2017, but was obviously only a square piece of the original art. That in turn was followed by more images from an early build of DOOM 4, showing off a couple of weapons and the urban environment that had resulted in many referring to the game as “Call of Doom”, due to the derided Call of Duty inspirations.
Not to be outdone, @WadOverdose posted images of very early models of enemies from the game, including one referred to as a Combiner, which as @WasOverdose noted, would have used a similar merging mechanic that was seen in Cronos: The New Dawn.
All of this comes after last week’s “reset” by Xbox, which has resulted in layoffs and pivots by all of its studios, including DOOM developers id Software letting go 100 of its staff members.
Meanwhile, id has just released the first DOOM: The Dark Ages expansion in Revelations, which is available now on the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and the PC via Steam.
