Capcom has confirmed that three major entries in the Resident Evil franchise are coming to Nintendo Switch on October 16, with native ports of Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition.

The announcement was made during a Nintendo Direct presentation and lists full releases on the Nintendo eShop with pre-order incentives.

According to Capcom's announcement, Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition will include the previously released downloadable content that expanded the original remake release.

Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition will ship with the Ada Wong Separate Ways DLC included.

Capcom framed the lineup as filling important gaps in the Resident Evil catalog on Nintendo Switch, delivering native versions where players on the platform previously only had cloud-based options for some entries.

The publisher provided pricing for the Switch launches: Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition is listed at £34.99, Resident Evil 3 at £24.99, and Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition at £44.99.

Pre-order discounts reduce those prices to £26.24 for RE2, £16.49 for RE3, and £35.99 for RE4.

All three editions will be available through the Nintendo eShop when they go live on October 16.

This set of releases is notable for Switch owners because it includes native ports of titles that have not previously been fully native on the platform.

Capcom emphasized that the Deluxe and Gold Editions bundle previously released story and character expansions, ensuring players on Switch receive the same packaged content offered on other platforms.

For retailers and players watching the calendar, the October 16 release date places these launches ahead of Halloween, a seasonally appropriate window for survival horror product rollouts.

Capcom's presentation during Nintendo Direct laid out the release date, edition details, included DLC, and eShop pricing clearly, enabling pre-orders to take advantage of the temporary discounts.

Capcom's announcement continues the company’s recent pattern of bringing core Resident Evil entries to multiple platforms with edition-specific packaging.

Nintendo Switch owners can expect the titles to appear on the eShop on October 16 with the stated pricing and included content as confirmed by Capcom.
