Explained simply
Resident Evil is a long-running series of horror games made by the Japanese company Capcom. Code: Veronica first came out in 2000 and follows Claire Redfield and her brother Chris as they face a new outbreak linked to the Umbrella Corporation, a company at the centre of many games in the series.
Capcom has remade several older entries, including Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4. The reported wishlist figure reflects interest in the Code: Veronica remake and in the team behind those earlier remakes; wishlists let players flag a game they may want to buy, but do not guarantee sales.
