Fans have spotted a few sneaky references in Resident Evil Requiem that further adds to the hype around a potential remake of Code: Veronica.
After Resident Evil 2 and 3's remakes were released, most naturally assumed that the next game in the series – the once Dreamcast exclusive Resident Evil Code: Veronica – would be next in line to get Capcom's remake treatment. But instead, Capcom went straight to the best Resident Evil game and remade Resident Evil 4 (and in turn created another of the best Resident Evil games).
So Capcom had not only skipped Resident Evil Code: Veronica but also Rebecca Chambers' only starring role in Zero, leading many to assume that Resident Evil 5 would be next, but rumors have since arisen that not only is Code: Veronica remake happening, but is apparently coming in early 2027. Now, some are pointing to some mentions within Resident Evil Requiem as a clue from Capcom.
In the bar lounge in Rhodes Hill there's this suspicious bottle, AVERNICO. if you unscramble this word it spells out... VERONICA. i wonder what's next for Resident Evil 😄 pic.twitter.com/DsIwC4nYezMarch 5, 2026
YouTuber and Resident Evil expert TheSphereHunter tweeted out a picture of the bottles found in the bar area of Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center, and noticed that one of the bottles at the front of the tray says "AVERNICO," which is an anagram of, you guessed it, VERONICA. But that isn't the only Veronica mention in Resident Evil Requiem, as Twitter user RacconSurvivor notes that on the Wrenwood hotel register, there's also a "Veronica."
And while this could just simply be seen as a cheeky reference, with the rumors of a Code: Veronica remake being next for the series, it definitely feels like it could be a hint from Capcom… at least I hope so, because Claire Redfield has been MIA for too long.
And if that didn't convince you, the top comment on the Reddit thread discussing these notes: "My neighbour who recently moved in is also called Veronica Bravo Capcom."
