Resident Evil 7: Biohazard - Gold Edition

Capcom reveals new details about Resident Evil Veronica, including the fate of Claire, Steve Burnside, and first-person camera view.

Just like (well, not just like) the original 2000 game, Resident Evil: Veronica will be played from a third-person perspective. The news was shared with GameSpot during a group Q&A session at Summer Game Fest, which is also where Capcom officially announced the game to the public. The original Resident Evil: Code Veronica was also played in third-person--just like most of the older Resident Evil games--but it utilized the clunkier "tank" controls of the PlayStation originals. For Resident Evil: Veronica, GameSpot was told the closest gameplay corollary would be the Resident Evil 2 remake.

A select few Resident Evil games - Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 7 Biohazard - are on sale for under $20 right now at Amazon.

The 2026 Summer Game Fest showcase kicked off with another Resi remake.

The teaser for Resident Evil Veronica at Summer Game Fest may well have been presented in first-person, but the game itself will be played in third-person, Capcom has confirmed.
