Capcom has set a high standard for theirs Resident Evil remakes and the upcoming Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake will be “heavily remixed”, so much so that it will feel like a brand new game. However, this does not mean that anything in the original Resident Evil Code: Veronica is being cut, because the keyword there is remixed.
With the latest release of Resident Evil Requiemmany fans are no doubt curious about the future of the franchise, and it comes as no surprise that Capcom is keeping the remake train rolling. Resident Evil Requiem is slated to get DLC, of course, but once the dust settles, fans can reportedly look forward to a Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake 2027 and a Resident Evil 0 2028 remake.

Reported changes in Resident Evil Code: Veronica Remake
Long before that, leaker Dusk Golem has commented on Capcom's approach Resident Evil Code: Veronica remake. It is important to note that the Dusk Golem has a history of accurate Resident Evil leaks, is the first figure to confirm that Leon Kennedy would be playable in Resident Evil Requiem.

He explained that it is Resident EviI'm redoing with the most changes, saying that things may happen differently than you remember, but that everything (every enemy, location, and event) is there and expanded. This doesn't just apply to Claire; so does her brother Chris. Capcom is aware, according to Dusk Golem, that this is young Chris' first appearance in the RE Engine remakes, so his sections will be expanded just like his sister's. That said, Chris's section will end earlier than it did in the original game and will have a proper boss fight against Wesker. That reportedly leaves Claire to deal with main antagonist Alexia Ashford.
While it remains to be seen how extensive these changes will be in practice, it sounds fantastic. In the past, Dusk Golem has also claimed that there is plenty of internal faith in the project, and he wouldn't be surprised if Code Veronica remake surpassed Resident Evil: Requiems reviews. Considering the number of 10/10s it received, such a claim sets some really high expectations, but fans will just have to wait and see if the game can live up to it.
Why No Cuts in Code: Veronica Remake is a big deal
Resident Evil Code: Veronica has lots that could theoretically be cut, but that's not the approach here. Remixing is the better approach, but not cutting anything (at least significantly) is likely based on fan reception. While Resident Evil 2 reworked both scenarios to some extent and Resident Evil 4 trimmed (to a lesser extent), Resident Evil 3 made the most changes (read: lots of cuts). Entire areas that the bell tower was cut from Resident Evil 3 remake, and while the game is good, it is arguably the worst remake. It's perhaps a blip, however small, in Capcom's generations since its launch RE7.
Based on these claims, it sounds like Resident Evil Code: Veronica could replace RE3 as the remake with the most changes, but with a focus on remixing instead of cutting, it's understandable why there would be a lot of internal faith.
