There’s a lot you can read into a single dropped word. Capcom’s upcoming remake of Resident Evil – Code: Veronica is no longer Code: Veronica — it’s just Resident Evil: Veronica, per Eurogamer. One word axed from the title. That quiet edit, paired with two crisp design confirmations from Capcom, tells you more about where this remake is headed than any trailer could.
