Sign in to your TheGamer account The Resident Evil series is no stranger to leaks and speculation about upcoming entries in the series, but things have been relatively quiet over the past few weeks in the wake of the upcoming release of Resident Evil Veronica. Despite the lack of official updates, a recent leak posted by RENews on X claims that the producer behind Resident Evil Veronica is going to be attending Gamescom next week. As if that wasn't exciting enough on its own, the same source supposedly claims that the producer will be following up the opening night reveal with a closed press event for creators that are set to reveal brand-new details about Resident Evil Veronica. What This Could Mean For Resident Evil Fans Considering that Resident Evil Veronica has long since been speculated to release sooner than Requiem's DLC, it wouldn't be surprising for further Veronica reveals to be Capcom's main priority moving forward with Resident Evil announcements, which could see a brand-new teaser trailer or details shared behind closed doors. While a simple tease could be entirely possible, the fact that the leak claims that Hirabayashi will be attending the opening night with Geoff Keighley himself on August 25 hints that it will be an even bigger reveal than fans could have been hoping for. Even though the idea of seeing more gameplay footage or even a release date from one of 2027's most anticipated games is incredibly exciting, considering we only have a brief teaser trailer to tie us over until Resident Evil Veronica's release next year, the validity of the leak has been widely criticized for its authenticity. Not Everyone Is Convinced About The Leak Combined with the fact that popular leakers Screenfire Germany and Resident Evil's Dusk Golem have both stated that Capcom wouldn't showcase Resident Evil Veronica at Gamescom this year, even RENews themselves have previously stated that there wouldn't be any announcements so soon. RENews themselves acknowledged the inconsistency by saying they were just as surprised to hear the leak, and remain steadfast that we'll be getting an exclusive preview of Resident Evil Veronica at Gamescom this year. While we'll have to wait until August 25–30 to see whether the leak is true or not, it's certainly worth marking on your calendars even if we don't get another look at Resident Evil Veronica.
