It's no secret that Capcom likes to make remakes. In fact, the company has outright stated in the past that a big part of its strategy is to pad its releases with remakes and remasters. Considering this and the fact that Resident Evil is one of Capcom's biggest franchises, it's no surprise that there have been a number of RE remakes and remasters over the years. However, those hoping to see a Code: Veronica remake should keep their expectations in check.
AestheticGamer, a credible Resident Evil franchise leaker, has said that a Code: Veronica remake is not in development in any capacity at Capcom. This is disappointing news for fans of Code: Veronica, but on the bright side, the game is easily accessible on current-generation consoles.
Resident Evil Code: Veronica X, a slightly enhanced version of the original game, is currently available on PS4 as a digital PS2 title. On Xbox One, players can download the Xbox 360's Resident Evil Code: Veronica HD remaster and play it thanks to the Xbox One backward compatibility program.
Even though Resident Evil Code: Veronica X is readily available on current-generation consoles, it's not surprising that some fans want to see a remake. There are certain things about Code: Veronica X that haven't exactly aged well, particularly the character Steve Burnside, and a remake would allow Capcom to trim the fat, so to speak. It would also allow Capcom to update the controls to modern standards, as Code: Veronica X still uses the old-school tank control scheme.
Those who aren't super familiar with the Resident Evil franchise may not understand why fans want to see a Code: Veronica remake. Even though it's not a numbered Resident Evil game, it is most certainly a main series entry, and was originally supposed to be named Resident Evil 3. It was also the first Resident Evil game on sixth generation consoles, launching on the Sega Dreamcast in February 2000 and having a number of major gameplay advancements as a result.
While a Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake is apparently not in development right now, that doesn't mean that one won't materialize somewhere down the road. Right now Capcom has its hands busy with the Resident Evil 3 remake as well as another Resident Evil game that's rumored to be releasing within the next year.
