Resident Evil Veronica producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi has confirmed that the upcoming survival horror game will be a third person game despite the trailer use of a first person perspective. Hirabayashi said that they wanted to make the debut trailer mysterious though it was fairly clear from the start it was a Resident Evil trailer due to the visual similarities to the excellent Resident Evil Requiem. This game won’t feature dual protagonists like Requiem and will use a third person viewpoint. Hirabayashi also emphasised that Capcom is treats Resident Evil Veronica as a main series entry in the Resident Evil story, so we should have high expectations when it launches on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2027.
Hirabayashi hints that this scene wouldn’t necessarily be the same in the final game, and Capcom wanted to build a bit of mystery to create some surprise for the trailer. He also suggests that this scene won’t necessarily be at the very beginning of the game.
