Capcom says Resident Evil Veronica has surpassed 2 million wishlists following Summer Game Fest 2026 reveal

Capcom confirmed on social media on August 5, 2026 that Resident Evil Veronica, revealed at Summer Game Fest 2026, has surpassed 2 million wishlists ahead of its launch. The publisher said the total covers wishlists across all platforms and shared the milestone via the official Resident Evil account.

Claire Redfield will lead the forthcoming remake, and fans’ long-standing requests for a Veronica update were underscored in coverage of the announcement. The report noted renewed interest after the success of Resident Evil Requiem, contributing to anticipation for another mainline entry centered on Claire. The article also referenced the sustained popularity of modern remakes in the series as context for the reaction.

The official Resident Evil social post read: "2 million biscuits for the 2 million of you who've wishlisted Resident Evil Veronica. Thank you! pic.twitter.com/mWU6oCbvCP". That message was used by Capcom to mark the wishlist milestone and to thank supporters. The publisher framed the update as an early development milestone shared directly with the community.

Reports cited alongside the confirmation recall that modern remakes of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4 "have been pretty successful." Coverage also noted that a Resident Evil Requiem DLC is expected to drop after Veronica's launch and that the next mainline game in the series is reportedly in development. A separate report linked in the coverage suggested the Veronica remake "might cost $79.99".

Capcom has indicated only limited information so far about Veronica’s development. The remake is currently expected to release sometime in 2027 but no official launch date has been announced.

Capcom and the Resident Evil account said more gameplay footage, trailers, and development updates are expected as the game's release approaches.
