Leaker AestheticGamer (also known as Dusk Golem) claims that Resident Evil: Code Veronica and the Resident Evil Requiem story DLC may have been granted additional development time. Capcom may be looking to refine these contents further by taking player feedback on the ninth mainline entry into account.
According to the leaker, Resident Evil: Code Veronica was initially targeting a Q1 2027 release, which was then pushed back to Q2, and later adjusted to fall 2027. A new trailer that might have been revealed around this time has also been delayed along with the development schedule.
This leak links the schedule changes to player reception of Resident Evil Requiem, touching on the game's storyline, more open areas, and certain chapters. It specifically mentions that some players felt Leon's campaign had a relatively weak ending.
However, Capcom has not officially confirmed any delays for Resident Evil: Code Veronica or the Resident Evil Requiem story DLC, nor has it confirmed that changes in the development schedule are directly related to player feedback. Currently, these core details come solely from a single leak by AestheticGamer and should not be considered official release plans.
