Resident Evil Village

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.

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:
