One of the fan remake games developer, Briin Croft, made an announcement on his YouTube page and said he was contacted by Capcom and asked to end the project. The reason behind the request is a copyright infringement and licensing agreements.

Original Resident Evil has been re-released before, but it is expected by the fans to have a new remake soon. Resident Evil: Code Veronica is the odd one here; the Resident Evil 3 remake was released last year, and Resident Evil 4 is coming out in March 2023. Resident Evil: Code Veronica was released in between those two games back in 2000 and is considered one of the best horror games. So far, Resident Evil remakes are released chronologically, and Code Veronica was skipped.

Few weeks ago Ubitus and Capcom teamed up to bring Resident Evil cloud games to Switch and the original game was not included in the list of games available.
