Resident Evil Requiem

If you watched the most recent Nintendo Direct, you likely saw the news that Capcom is bringing not one, but three Resident Evil games to Nintendo Switch 2 early next year. The system will be getting Resident Evil 7, Village, and Requiem at the same time.

Capcom’s Masato Kumazawa has now spoken about what went into that decision as part of a recent interview. That discussion reveals that the company first prototyped Resident Evil Village on Nintendo Switch 2, and after seeing the positive results, wanted to try porting Requiem. Capcom felt the results there were also promising, and decided to throw in Resident Evil 7 as well. Having them all ready at the same time made sense for Capcom so that players could “just jump in” and start at 7 or with the series’ newest entry.

One of the standout games from the latest Nintendo Direct, Resident Evil Requiem has been receiving widespread praise on social media after its handheld gameplay on the Nintendo Switch 2 was showcased (you can check out the full details here). Following the announcement of the game for the new console, the developers shared insights on bringing Requiem to the system, saying the studio was impressed with the hardware and that it “just made sense.”

There’s an interesting tidbit about the newly-revealed Nintendo Switch 2 version of Resident Evil Requiem, which is that it looks like this version will be cheaper compared to other consoles.

Capcom just announced plans to bring the horror game over to Nintendo’s latest platform during a Direct last week. Retailers have now started putting up listings – which gives us a look at the price point.

Resident Evil Requiem graphics comparison

After it was just announced for Nintendo Switch 2 today, a Resident Evil Requiem graphics comparison has already come in that puts it up against the PS5 version.

We’ll have a better idea about how the game looks and runs on Nintendo’s console, but so far, the results are fairly impressive. There are some changes here and there, but this shows that the system is capable of running current-gen titles. It’s far different from what we used to see with games that were downgraded for Nintendo Switch 1 – and many projects simply couldn’t run on the platform.

Resident Evil Requiem Switch 2

It’s official: Resident Evil Requiem is inbound for Nintendo Switch 2. The game launches on February 27, 2026.

That’s not the only news about the series. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village are on the way as well – both are launching on the same day.

Here’s the full rundown from Capcom:
