Capcom dropped “Code” from Resident Evil Code Veronica’s title to follow the one-word naming pattern used in recent Resident Evil games, such as Village and Requiem.
“If you think about our recent mainline entries and the titles, you probably noticed a pattern, that they have a one-word subtitle that encapsulates a very important part of the game. So, aligning with that title convention that we’re taking in our recent mainline numbered entries, we followed a similar alignment.”
