Resident Evil 7: Biohazard - Gold Edition Grotesque Version

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.

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

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.

Despite being in plenty of spin-offs and crossovers, Claire Redfield is in barely any of the mainline Resident Evil games. After a long time away, RE Veronica is finally set to give Claire her due.

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