Leon Kennedy Actor Nick Apostolides Is Hoping For A Resident Evil CODE: Veronica Remake: ‘I Think It Would Be One Hell Of A Game’

Nick Apostolides, the voice actor behind Leon S. Kennedy in Resident Evil Requiem, has revealed he’d be up for seeing a remake of Resident Evil CODE: Veronica.

Speaking during an interview with PC Gamer, Apostolides reckons CODE: Veronica would hugely benefit from a RE Engine overhaul, and it’s got nothing to do with his character, either — Leon doesn’t appear in the game, after all. From the sounds of it, the actor is a simply big fan of the Dreamcast classic.

I would like to see a Code Veronica get remade because that, to me, was a very challenging game. But the story of it was just so wild and weird, and I think if they did it in today’s RE Engine with today’s storytelling and grounded acting, I think that would be one hell of a game. To see that game in the RE Engine, oh wow. If they announce that, I think fans are going to go ballistic.

To be fair, it sounds like Apostolides could get his wish, as a Resident Evil CODE: Veronica Remake has been rumoured to be in development for a couple of years now. Insider Dusk Golem has stated on numerous occasions that the game is set for a full reveal this year and will launch in the first quarter of 2027 (with Resident Evil Zero Remake following in 2028).

Resident Evil CODE: Veronica was originally released for the Dreamcast in 2000 and takes place three months after the events of Resident Evil 2, as Claire Redfield continues her search for her brother, Chris, and ends up being captured by Umbrella and imprisoned on a remote island. The game was ported to PS2 in 2001 with additional cutscenes featuring Albert Wesker in celebration of the series’ 5th anniversary.
