Capcom announced a full‑scale remake of Resident Evil: Code Veronica—now simply titled Resident Evil Veronica—with a slated launch in 2027, making it the marquee reveal of Summer Game Fest 2026.
Resident Evil Veronica confirmed for 2027
The iconic survival‑horror title receives a modern overhaul, featuring updated visuals, refined controls, and narrative tweaks that align it with the franchise’s current standards. Capcom emphasized that the remake will preserve the original’s atmosphere while delivering a fresh experience for new and veteran players alike.
Alien: Isolation 2 expands the dread
Creative Assembly dropped a new trailer that shifts the setting from the claustrophobic Nostromo‑style vessel to a sprawling space‑station orbiting an alien world. The broader environment promises heightened exploration without sacrificing the series’ signature tension, as the Xenomorph‑like threat stalks crew members across multiple decks.
Early footage highlights dimly lit corridors, oppressive ambient sound design, and subtle AI‑driven predator behaviors that aim to keep players on edge throughout the campaign.
Cuphead universe grows: sequel and Mighty Cuphead Adventure
Studio MDHR confirmed development on a direct Cuphead sequel, though details remain scarce as the project is still in its infancy. Simultaneously, a separate, smaller team showcased a nostalgic side project titled Mighty Cuphead Adventure, an 8‑bit‑styled action platformer that reimagines the Cuphead world in a shooter format.
The brief preview revealed pixel‑art environments, rapid‑fire mechanics, and a soundtrack that pays homage to the original’s jazz‑infused scores, hinting at a playful experiment distinct from the mainline series.
Gen Atlas marks Fumito Ueda’s sci‑fi return
Legendary designer Fumito Ueda unveiled Gen Atlas, his first new title since The Last Guardian, signaling a venture into science‑fiction territory. The teaser displayed towering robotic colossi that players can ascend, echoing the iconic scale and emotive pacing that defined Ico and Shadow of the Colossus.
Ueda’s signature blend of minimalistic storytelling and atmospheric world‑building appears intact, suggesting Gen Atlas will deliver a contemplative adventure where the relationship between humanity and machinery is explored through immersive set‑pieces.
