Resident Evil Leaker Claims Veronica and Zero Remake Will Tie Into Requiem

A leaker with a strong record of accuracy alleges that Resident Evil: Veronica and the rumored Resident Evil Zero remake will tie into Resident Evil Requiem. The leak arrives while fans await Resident Evil Requiem DLC, as anticipation for Resident Evil: Veronica rises, and curiosity regarding other Resident Evil remakes abounds.

Resident Evil has largely been on a roll in recent years, with both the remade games and the new arrivals being widely praised and selling well. Given their successes, and the recent reveal of Resident Evil: Veronica arriving as a remake of the classic Code: Veronica game, fans are curious about what else the remake future holds for the franchise, which led to this newly revealed tidbit.

Capcom’s Resident Evil is the definitive horror franchise, but the games are not equally scary. RE7, Village, RE4, and Requiem are top contenders.

Resident Evil Requiem, Veronica, and Zero Are Tied Together

Resident Evil leaker Dusk Golem has shared a new piece of information about the upcoming Resident Evil remakes, including Resident Evil: Veronica and Resident Evil Zero, with the latter of the two not yet having been confirmed by Capcom. Dusk Golem responded to a claim that the entire franchise is being remade with the intention of restructuring the narrative, and said that it’s not true. However, they did indicate that Resident Evil: Veronica and a Zero remake would tie into Resident Evil: Requiem, but that’s largely due to the development process. Resident Evil: Veronica, Resident Evil Requiem, and the rumored Resident Evil Zero remake were allegedly all being worked on at the same time, leading to this connection, which was further reinforced through Requiem‘s story and its myriad of Easter eggs referencing prior Resident Evil games.

With that said, there was some unfortunate news for those fans who are hoping for Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 remakes. Dusk Golem indicates that remakes of those games are not in development, and that there’s reportedly no current internal plan to do so. They also note that there isn’t an overarching plan to remake every game in the Resident Evil series up to Resident Evil 7, as Capcom is taking the process one step at a time. However, they expect that if sales of the upcoming remakes perform as well as the Resident Evil 2 remake did, then RE 5 and 6 will likely join the list of remakes somewhere down the road.

Of course, like with any leak, these claims should be taken with a grain of salt. However, prior rumors regarding Resident Evil shared by Dusk Golem have been accurate, including denying claims that Chris and Ada would play a role in Resident Evil Requiem, and indicating that Code: Veronica would be getting a remake announcement in 2026. With that in mind, Dusk Golem stated in advance of the official reveal that Code: Veronica remake would release in 2027, and claims that Zero will follow in 2028, with a brand-new game, Resident Evil 10, launching in 2029. With that in mind, any remake of Resident Evil 5 or 6 would likely be many years from now.

If the rumors turn out to be true, then fans of the survival horror franchise should have a lot to look forward to over the course of the next few years. With 2027’s release, it will be interesting to see how Resident Evil: Veronica handles story changes and expansions, including the alleged ties to Resident Evil Requiem.
