Report: Resident Evil Veronica Delayed to Fall 2027

Leaker Dusk Golem says Capcom has pushed the release of Resident Evil Veronica to fall 2027 after several internal schedule changes, and that the story DLC Requiem has also been slowed by player feedback.

According to Dusk Golem’s posts on X, Capcom endured a very heavy work period early in 2026 aimed at readying Veronica for a possible first-quarter 2027 launch. That window was moved first to the second quarter and then again to fall 2027.

He wrote, "Capcom went through a very packed work period earlier this year to, if possible, release Veronica in Q1 2027. That timing was first moved to Q2 and ultimately to fall."

Dusk Golem says the company could technically ship the game sooner but has chosen to take extra time to address outstanding issues rather than rush a release. "They can release the game. But especially after feedback on Requiem, they prefer to spend more time addressing medium and fairly minor issues that can raise the final quality of the game, rather than simply putting it on the market," he added.

The reported delay has reportedly affected Veronica’s promotional timetable as well. Capcom had planned to roll out a new trailer sooner, but the leaker says that release was postponed as the team extended optimization work. Dusk Golem also stressed that the recent lack of new Resident Evil promotion is not related to Geoff Keighley, despite Capcom’s well-known ties to him.

Requiem’s development appears to be following a similar path. Dusk Golem claims player reaction to Requiem has influenced its production schedule and that the DLC now requires more time than originally planned. He framed the choice as uncomfortable in the short term but intentional: Capcom wants to respond to feedback and secure a higher-quality result.

Capcom officially revealed Resident Evil Veronica in June 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC, and still lists 2027 as the release window without committing to a date. Director Koshi Nakanishi confirmed in March 2026 that the story DLC Requiem is in development, but no release date has been given.

Capcom has not confirmed Dusk Golem’s new claims about internal scheduling changes for Veronica or a delay to the Requiem DLC; for now these reports should be treated as rumors.
