A NEW UPDATE ON THERESIDENT EVIL: CODE VERONICAFAN REMAKE
The team behindResident Evil: Code Veronicainitially announced the remake back in December 2021. Though small, the team is made up of incredible collaborators like leadersMatt Croft, Briins Croft and DarkNemesisUmbrella. Overall, the project aims to be faithful to the original story while adding a modern flair to the game’s graphics and animations.
The remake will be released in 3 chapters, each with an approximate duration of about 4 hours. These 12 hours of gameplay were all recreated in Unity, aiming to increase stability of play and update enemy behavior. Players can now try to dodge zombies, who are also able to bite the player in combat.
Additionally, the team developed a set of new animations for both Claire Redfield and the enemies. Movements will supposedly feel more natural, less clunky than an old console port. Characters react to the environment around them - Claire responds to the heat of a fire, or to a sudden downpour. The dedication to creating a more realistic experience has created a truly gorgeous-looking remake.
Resident Evil: Code Veronicais set to launch sometime in 2022. And, luckily for any fans excited to hop intoCode Veronica, the game will be free to play at launch. The team will also release a “Lite” version of the remake, built for older PCs. Ultimately, their goal is to make the remake as accessible as possible to any fan who wishes to play.
