Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, the producer of the upcoming Resident Evil Veronica, will attend Gamescom 2026 in Cologne, Germany, next week. His confirmed attendance comes despite recent reports from industry sources suggesting that the game would skip the event due to an intense development period.
Confirmed Details and Expectations
While Hirabayashi's presence at the event has sparked speculation regarding a potential trailer reveal, Capcom has not provided an official schedule for the title. The game, which is currently in development for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series S/X, and Nintendo Switch, has previously been confirmed by Hirabayashi to feature a third-person perspective, clarifying confusion caused by the initial announcement trailer's first-person framing.
Quick Facts
- Developer: Capcom
- Confirmed Perspective: Third-person

The discrepancy between earlier reports of the game skipping the show and the producer's confirmed attendance has led to increased interest in Opening Night Live. If a reveal is planned, it is expected to occur during the event's opening showcase.
