Resident Evil – Code: Veronica Remake Would be “One Hell of a Game” Says Leon Kennedy’s Voice Actor

by

As rumors about a remake of Resident Evil – Code: Veronica grow, Leon S. Kennedy voice actor Nick Apostolides has shared his opinion. In an interview with PC Gamer, he expressed support for a remake, noting that the original game was difficult and had a particularly unique story within the Resident Evil series.

Apostolides expressed a desire to see a remake of Code Veronica, noting its difficulty. He believes that reimagining its strange and captivating story with modern technology – specifically the RE Engine – and more realistic acting could result in an exceptional game.

Fans have long hoped Capcom would remake Code: Veronica, especially after the successful 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2. However, Capcom has been concentrating on remaking the core Resident Evil games, most recently finishing Resident Evil 4. Recent rumors suggest a Code: Veronica remake is now in development, potentially releasing in early 2027.

Resident Evil – Code: Veronica holds a special place in the series because it introduces several key plot points that reappear in later games. Some fans even believe it’s a more authentic sequel to Resident Evil 2 than the game officially labeled Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. This is because Code: Veronica has a bigger impact on the overall Resident Evil story, while Nemesis primarily focuses on Jill Valentine’s struggle to survive and escape Raccoon City while being chased by the powerful Nemesis.

Code: Veronica follows the Redfield siblings, Claire and Chris. Claire’s investigation into the Umbrella Corporation leads to her kidnapping and imprisonment on the isolated Rockfort Island. Chris then sets out on a rescue mission to save her. The game was first released in 2000 for the Sega Dreamcast, and later became available on PlayStation 2 in 2001 and Nintendo GameCube in 2003.

Code: Veronica was a groundbreaking installment in the series because it let players control both Chris and Claire throughout the entire game campaign. Previous games allowed you to choose which character to play as at the start, but Code: Veronica uniquely featured both characters exploring Rockfort Island, with players managing their inventories and sharing items between them. This approach was recently revisited in Resident Evil Requiem, which split gameplay between newcomer Grace Ashcroft and long-time hero Leon.

A recent report suggests that Capcom will be meeting internally to plan the future of the Resident Evil series in 2027. According to industry insider Dusk Golem, Capcom relies heavily on data and will be analyzing the performance of Resident Evil 4 remake, Resident Evil Requiem, and the potential Resident Evil – Code: Veronica remake to help guide their decisions.
