‘Resident Evil 4’ Remake Producer Offers Slim Hope Capcom Will Remake ‘Resident Evil – Code: Veronica’
After yesterday’s Resident Evil Showcase, there is no doubt that some fans who are wondering just what other Resident Evil titles Capcom is planning to revisit. In particular, some fans want to see Capcom remake Resident Evil – Code: Veronica for modern systems. And while that might not be in the cards, Capcom is at least aware of fan desires.
In an interview with Noisy Pixel, Resident Evil 4 remake producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi was asked about Capcom’s desire to remake other classic Resident Evil after Resident Evil 4‘s release next year. Specifically, would Hirabayahi turn his efforts to remaking Resident Evil – Code: Veronica.
Hirabayahi responded that while there are “no concrete plans” at the present time to develop a remake of the 2000 Dreamcast game, Hirabayahi did say that if the “opportunity comes, maybe.”
Obviously, it’s not the definitive answer that fans of Code: Veronica want to hear. But it does present a glimmer of hope that Capcom will turn back to the game that ended up selling over 3 million units combined across the Dreamcast and PlayStation 2.
In the meantime, fans can at least look forward to the fan-made remake of the game, which is currently still being worked on, and will be released for free once it’s complete.
The Resident Evil 4 remake arrives March 24, 2023 for PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open air-areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
