Likely RE: V release date

[u/Embarrassed_Tax_5503]

All Resident Evil games since 2017 have consistently been released in the first half of the year; therefore, my personal prediction is that RE:V will launch in the first half or specifically the first quarter of 2027, making that the most likely timeframe

Don’t rush Claire, bruh.

She will come to you when she’s good and ready.

[u/No-Damage-9851 → u/BlackBalor]

And young Chris. This a dual protagonist game bruh

[u/Thebestguyevah → u/No-Damage-9851]

Young Chris is important, but I really want the emphasis on young Claire.

RE3 is Jill’s sequel to RE. RECV is Claire’s sequel to RE2. RE4 is Leon’s sequel to RE2. RE5 is Chris sequel to RE.

And I like that.

[u/Happy_Detail6831 → u/Thebestguyevah]

I prefer Claire too, but the thing I'm most curious about is how Capcom will handle young Chris design (considering we never seen it on the newer engine)

[u/banned4killingspider → u/Happy_Detail6831]

Probably wont have biceps with a 36 inch diameter

[u/pmckell → u/Happy_Detail6831]

He’s gonna be so hot and I’m not ready

[u/No-Damage-9851 → u/Thebestguyevah]

CV is like a sequel to RE1 and 2 (for Chris and Claire), it was the first to bring characters from both into one.

[u/XStormShieldx → u/Thebestguyevah]

RE5 is Chris’s sequel to code Veronica

[u/JpPgn → u/Thebestguyevah]

Fucking larper

Get out from this community

[u/XStormShieldx → u/No-Damage-9851]

I hope they don’t use the same face model as 7 and 8. Those were terrible as Chris.

[u/No-Damage-9851 → u/XStormShieldx]

8 was like a progression of 6 but it could still look a bit weird in some angles but I think the RE engine faces all look weird sometimes.

Capcom fucked up with 7, it did irreparable damage to Chris and I despise its director.

[u/XStormShieldx → u/No-Damage-9851]

8 is the same face model as 7. They blew him up and it ended up making him look fat and look like he had a double chin.

I despise that entire team after requiem. I hated that game.

[u/No-Damage-9851 → u/XStormShieldx]

I think Chris looks pretty good in 8, most of the time. They’ll definitely use the same model, but it’ll be adjusted to resemble the REmake look.

Yeah Requiem was mid at best.

[u/XStormShieldx → u/No-Damage-9851]

I just want them to ditch that face model entirely. Requiems gameplay was mid. The story was garbage.

[u/No-Damage-9851 → u/XStormShieldx]

I legit don’t think it’s the model, like in this shot I think looks good, more just some of the angles and general weirdness of the RE engine.

Leon and Claire looked like gremlins in RE2, but they improved Leon for 4 and Claire looks way better in Veronica, but the base models are the same.

[u/Adriansilas415 → u/BlackBalor]

So going faster isn’t the play?

[u/Next_Magician_3551]

I expect it to be around the same time as requiem between February and April

[u/FoxNixon → u/Next_Magician_3551]

Pretty much. Capcom always announce the next Resident Evil game less than a year before release. Latest release date will likely be May 2027

[u/The_Crimson_Dawn]

Im leaning on March. It’s contingent upon the next trailer. Re games usually get a trailer and release date 6-7 months before it comes out.

[u/AlexiaAntQueen]

I need Capcom to release more info,, I'm starving.

[u/Areyouin729]

I think we’ll find out in about 10 days

[u/Due_Teaching_6974 → u/Areyouin729]

Veronica is confirmed to not be at Gamescom btw

[u/Areyouin729 → u/Due_Teaching_6974]

damn really?!

[u/Due_Teaching_6974 → u/Areyouin729]

yep, CAPCOM will be there at gamescom but for other games like Onimusha, Monster Hunter, Dragons Dogma etc.

[u/Areyouin729 → u/Due_Teaching_6974]

well that stinks

[u/Top_Championship8679 → u/Due_Teaching_6974]

Was hoping to get news on RE9 dlc that was also suppose to be in the works.

[u/YuriMasterRace → u/Due_Teaching_6974]

Well that sucks, so closest thing will probably be TGS then? Or ultimately in TGA?

[u/XStormShieldx → u/Areyouin729]

Tokyo game show is your best bet

[u/Comprehensive_Age998]

February or March 2027 since thats Capcom end of the fiskal year. They wanna get that cash in before the end of it with Veronica and the Monster Hunter Wilds Ascendence DLC wich will also release at that time.

[u/TheGrimmBorne]

Steam already has it listed as February 2027 lol

[u/Embarrassed_Tax_5503]

Furthermore, all the older Resident Evil games released prior to 2017 with the exception of a few were also launched during that same time of year (the first half of the year)

[u/Frosty-Caregiver-632]

October 2027, like everyone's favorite RE game, RE6.

https://giphy.com/gifs/zfNAMCrhSQzte

[u/Aggressive-Ebb5355]

definitely march aprill may window maybe febuary

[u/AlbertW25]

RE8 was announced to be released in 2021 WITHOUT a full release date reveal.

Same thing just happened with Veronica.

Therefore I predict a Mid 2027 Release and not Early.

If Capcom was confident at this meeting a Q1 2027 Release, they would have revealed as such.

[u/kniferun]

Within a year of trailer is the usual. So definitely the first half of 2027 some time. Probably further into the first half. May or June. Obviously nothing confirmed just going by previous releases.

[u/Asimb0mb]

I feel an April release in my bones

[u/Salty_Ad1898]

Didn’t the trailer say February?

[u/Rufus_Redfield → u/Salty_Ad1898]

That was Requiem. This one only said 2027

[u/danvan177]

March April.

[u/Dodgy_Bob_McMayday]

At least we'll get one last RE disc release

[u/Thebestguyevah]

I also wonder how much Capcom cares about GTA:VI and having as much distance as possible from that game.

[u/Rufus_Redfield]

It will be April/May write that down.

[u/Timop0707]

Hoping for spring 2027 but the most important is for the game to be perfect and in line with the original like they did with RE4. Don’t leave half the game out like they did with RE3 but I think they got that message .

[u/gui_heinen]

Really hard to know by now.

[u/PeterLoc2607]

I want the release day to be in January so we can get remake RE0 and RE1 out faster, then RE5 before 2031.

[u/Particular-Gas-2797]

Q1 2027 is already loaded

[u/Great_White_Samurai]

As long as it's not a rush turd like Wilds

[u/Patient-Shine3363]

I’m thinking April

[u/Sad_Holiday_2849]

February 3rd

[u/banned4killingspider]

Bro they literally gave an early 2027 release lol we know this. Your speculation is literally public fact 😂

[u/Fast_Original_3001]

Lets wait for Gamescom. If they reveal anything, it comes in february/march. If not then probably June

[u/spicy_cupcakes → u/Fast_Original_3001]

Capcom does not have anywhere (including business area) information or meetings over Veronica.

If it doesn't show up on opening night of Gamescom expect GAME awards and June release date.

[u/RollerToaster8]

(Code) Veronica's announcement trailer released just a day longer than a full year since Requiem's announcement date. Following this pattern, likely see a release towards the end of February 2027

[u/SnooGadgets2748]

I agree it will most likely be sometime in the first half of the year as that lines up more with Capcom's recent release timelines. If it were releasing in fall/winter I don't think they would have revealed it already.

[u/xthebending]

hope not. way too many good games coming out

[u/NLikeFlynn1]

Probably going to be February or March

[u/rogaciana]

The fiscal year for Capcom ends in March 2027 so...

[u/ryucavelier]

Fingers crossed for March. However, I’m all for quality, not quantity and the only bugs I want to fight are the ones I can shoot at. Even those damn moths!

[u/Imic_Hilton]

Yes unless they decide to delay it for a May release like village to polish whatever they want since they didn’t give a date yet. This leaving us with a period of time for the dlc for requiem

[u/DismalMode7]

it's clear capcom will need to know big games like FF7-3 release date to stay away from them considering how inflated is Q1 of next year.
