RE Veronica remake: 2 million wishlists Capcom’s cryptic reveal

A major milestone has been reached in the world of horror gaming, as Capcom announced that Resident Evil Veronica has amassed 2 million wishlists on Steam.

This exciting news followed the game’s reveal at Summer Game Fest, generating significant buzz for the upcoming installment. The official announcement, shared on Twitter by the Resident Evil account, was a charming celebration directed at the community: “2 million biscuits for the 2 million of you who’ve wishlisted Resident Evil Veronica. Thank you!”

While precise wishlist figures are not publicly disclosed, trackers like SteamDB confirm the game’s growing popularity on the platform. Although it currently sits eighth on Steam’s most wished-for games list behind massive titles like Deadlock and Total War: Warhammer 40,000, these numbers are expected to climb further as the game prepares for wider releases across major platforms.

The anticipation surrounding Resident Evil Veronica is entirely justified by its pedigree. The franchise itself is built on a foundation of highly-rated titles, with the original game ranking among the highest entries in the series on Metacritic. This legacy provides a strong narrative for fans looking forward to new developments.

More importantly, the project benefits from the undeniable success of Capcom’s work on other iconic titles. The development team behind Veronica is responsible for creating the beloved remakes of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4—games that remain among the most cherished entries in the franchise.

This history assures players that a deep understanding of survival horror mechanics and compelling atmosphere will be central to this new experience. As the game prepares for its release on platforms including PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2, the community is clearly eager to see what this next chapter in the series brings.
