Resident Evil Veronica delay linked to Requiem feedback

Resident Evil Veronica has gone suspiciously quiet since its June reveal, and the reason is apparently a sensible one. Capcom is sitting on a game it could ship, because it wants to sand down the rough edges first.

According to insider Dusk Golem, Capcom crunched earlier this year to hit Q1 2027. That slipped to Q2, then to fall. The studio could release it now, but after Requiem’s reception it reportedly wants to fix “medium or medium-small issues” rather than push the game out as is.

That same feedback is also shaping the Requiem DLC, which is said to be bigger than past Resident Evil expansions and will only arrive after Veronica launches.

Veronica could benefit from the extra time

I’m fine with this. I enjoyed Requiem, but the return to Raccoon City dragged until Leon reached the police department, and Zeno was another forgettable villain. Those are the most common complaints, so a remake with extra time to fix them sounds good to me.

There’s still a chance of a peek soon. Dusk Golem says a trailer was supposed to be out by now, which makes next month’s The Game Awards a likely stage for it.

Fall 2027 is a long wait. A polished game beats a rushed one.
