Recent comments from well-known Resident Evil insider Dusk Golem have cleared up a lot of confusion surrounding the future of the franchise, especially after fans began speculating about a possible Resident Evil 5 remake.
Over the past few days, discussion picked up after a voice actress from Resident Evil 5 hinted that she was involved in something she could not yet reveal. Many fans quickly assumed this meant a remake of RE5 was on the way. However, according to Dusk Golem, that assumption is incorrect.
In a post shared on social media, Dusk Golem stated clearly that there is no Resident Evil 5 remake being announced this year. Instead, he claimed that Capcom is preparing to reveal a remake of Code Veronica. He also stressed that the tease from the voice actress is related to something else entirely and not connected to a remake of Resident Evil 5.
This statement has shifted the conversation in a big way. Dusk Golem has built a reputation over the years as one of the more reliable Resident Evil insiders, having accurately leaked details about previous games and remakes before they were officially revealed. While nothing is confirmed until Capcom says it themselves, his track record gives weight to what he’s saying.
The confusion likely started because Resident Evil 5 has long been rumored to be next in line for a remake. The game was a massive commercial success when it launched in 2009 and remains one of the best-selling titles in the series.
With Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 all receiving modern remakes, many fans naturally assumed RE5 would follow. When the voice actress teased an upcoming project around the time of the series’ 30th anniversary celebrations, the internet quickly connected the dots.
However, if Dusk Golem’s information is correct, Capcom is instead turning its attention to Resident Evil: Code Veronica, which will reportedly match RE2 and RE4 as a AAA release. The game, originally released in 2000, has long been requested by fans for a remake due to its importance in the series’ storyline.
Code Veronica continues the story of Claire Redfield and plays a major role in setting up future events, including those seen in Resident Evil 5. Because of this, many believe it makes more sense for Capcom to remake it first before moving on to later entries.
There have also been ongoing rumors suggesting that Capcom has multiple remakes in development behind the scenes. Some reports claim that Code Veronica could be revealed in 2026, with a possible release in 2027, while a remake of Resident Evil Zero may follow after that. These details remain unconfirmed, but they line up with what several insiders have hinted at over the past year.
As for Resident Evil 5, this does not mean it will never happen. It simply means fans may have to wait longer than expected. Capcom has shown that it is willing to revisit older titles if there is enough demand, and RE5 remains one of the most popular entries in the franchise. If future remakes perform well, it wouldn’t be surprising to see it eventually get the same treatment.
For now, though, expectations should be kept in check. The voice actress tease does not point to a Resident Evil 5 remake, and according to Dusk Golem, the real focus is on Code Veronica. Until Capcom makes an official announcement, everything remains subject to change, but if the leaks are accurate, fans may soon be returning to one of the most overlooked yet important chapters in the Resident Evil series.
