With the season of gaming showcases rapidly approaching, fresh rumors suggest that Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest could play host to an official first look at Capcom's next big Resident Evil remake, which many believe to be Code: Veronica. Capcom has repeatedly included some of their biggest announcements at Keighley's Summer Game Fest and The Game Awards, and new insider speculation points towards a major Resident Evil reveal possibly coming at the annual gaming showcase.
It has already been confirmed that Summer Game Fest 2026 will be broadcast live on June 5, though the actual announcements themselves are generally kept under wraps until the big night. Summer Game Fest 2025 featured some massive surprises, including the first trailer for Resident Evil Requiem. While many are keeping an eye out for the Resident Evil Requiem DLC game mode to drop in May, others are expecting an even larger surprise, such as another Resi remake confirmation, to come during SGF 2026.
Resident Evil Requiem Director Teases New Mini-Game Addition
Resident Evil Requiem developers tease a new minigame that might arrive soon, hinting at a series staple unlocked after clearing the campaign.
Resident Evil Code: Veronica Remake Could Be Announced at Summer Game Fest
Resident Evil leaker Dusk Golem, who has accurately dropped teaser news on the franchise on multiple occasions, has suggested that it is "incredibly likely" that a Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake will be announced at Summer Game Fest 2026. While Dusk Golem admits to not knowing "Capcom's marketing plans," it would align with the 2025 Requiem trailer drop at SGF and would follow the planned Requiem DLC releasing in May. Other insiders have speculated that Capcom could make an appearance during a PlayStation State of Play in May, though many expect that to be the unveiling of the Requiem DLC game mode. If Capcom were to shadow drop the Requiem DLC at a May State of Play, the company could build on franchise momentum with a Summer Game Fest trailer showcasing a Code: Veronica remake, though audiences will simply have to wait and see what Capcom actually has in store for announcement season.

At the time of writing, only the Resident Evil Requiem story and game mode DLC have been officially confirmed by Capcom. All other possible Resident Evil remakes and rumored projects remain pure speculation, though many of these have been repeatedly cropping up among the latest updates from alleged insiders. It is key to note that even the most reputable of leakers can get things wrong from time to time, whether due to inaccurate information or things behind the scenes simply changing. As Dusk Golem admits, Capcom's marketing strategy remains a mystery, so audiences will simply have to wait and see what Capcom actually has in store for Summer Game Fest 2026 and the gaming announcement season.
Considering the undeniable popularity of the Resident Evil remakes and the notable success of Resident Evil Requiem, it should come as no surprise that many are hinting at another Resi project possibly being in the works at Capcom. Of course, there has been some discourse within the rumor mill debating whether Code: Veronica or Resident Evil 0 will be the first to get a remake, but survival horror fans seem perfectly happy for either. Interested players can follow along for any official news from Capcom on the next Resident Evil release, be it more Requiem DLC or a highly-anticipated remake.
