The rumors were true. Capcom’s blockbuster horror series is finding a new home on Switch 2. Not only will Resident Evil Requiem be a day-one release on Nintendo’s portable console in February 2026, but Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village will be joining it as a collection on the same day.
The Switch 2 trailer opened with FBI agent Grace Ashcroft investigating a series of murders in a spooky hotel amid one jumpscare after another. The footage appeared to be taken from a Switch 2 though the trailer didn’t immediately confirm that. If that’s the case, the ninth mainline Resident Evil isn’t looking too shabby on the weaker hardware.
Requiem is out February 27, 2026 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC as well. That’s also the day that some older Resident Evil games will finally make their way to Nintendo’s platform. Gold editions of Capcom’s Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village will both arrive then as well.
These unexpected Resident Evil ports were rumored prior to today’s Nintendo Direct, with leakers suggesting the rest of the modern Resident Evil series, including remakes of 3 and 4 as well as Resident Evil Village, will arrive on Switch 2 eventually as well.
While not confirmed, that fact that Capcom seems to be having so much success getting RE Engine games running on the new console is a good sign that we could see some of Capcom’s other blockbusters arrive on it, including maybe Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Monster Hunter Wilds. The latter is still in rough shape even on PC, though, so we’ll have to wait and see.
