Resident Evil Code: Veronica, known as Biohazard CODE:Veronica (バイオハザード コード：ベロニカ) in Japan, is a survival horror-themed action-adventure game by Capcom and Nextech. It was first released in 2000 on the Sega Dreamcast as an entry in Capcom s Resident Evil series, serving as a direct sequel to Resident Evil 2. Code: Veronica was intended to be a Dreamcast-exclusive, but Sega s departure from the hardware business resulted in the development of an expanded edition titled Resident Evil Code: Veronica X, which was released for the PlayStation 2 the following year.
