Resident Evil Requiem and Ethan Winters Saga Launch on Nintendo Switch 2: Capcom Drops New Trailers and Gold Editions

Capcom continues its celebrated partnership with Nintendo, unveiling a significant new chapter in survival horror with the simultaneous release of three Resident Evil titles on the Nintendo Switch 2.

Available now via the eShop, Resident Evil Requiem, the highly anticipated mainline addition to the storied franchise, debuts alongside Gold Edition ports of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village, collectively bringing the entire Ethan Winters saga to Nintendo’s next-generation hardware. The rollout comes backed with fresh trailers for each title, showcasing their atmospheric visuals and story-driven gameplay, optimized for the improved performance of the Nintendo Switch 2.

Resident Evil Requiem, the headline release, receives a concise teaser that emphasizes suspense and mood without giving away key plot points—a move likely designed to entice both newcomers and series veterans while minimizing spoilers.

The extended trailer for Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village serves as a narrative primer, reviewing the core events of Ethan Winters’ journey for players new to the franchise or returning fans. Both ports present the Gold Edition content, meaning Nintendo Switch 2 owners can experience not only the core games but also all previously released expansions and downloadable content.

This comprehensive package marks a milestone for Resident Evil on Nintendo platforms.

Capcom’s Resident Evil series has now spanned multiple generations of Nintendo hardware, with this latest wave capitalizing on the Switch 2’s enhanced capabilities to deliver atmospheric horror at a new technical standard. Critical response to Resident Evil Requiem on Switch 2 has been notably positive.

In a recent review, it was observed that, while the entry draws from its legacy, it skillfully improves on past design missteps and highlights what the series does best—immersing players in tension-filled, expertly woven environments.

Digital Foundry, known for technical deep-dives, has praised the Switch 2 port as 'one of the best' available, underscoring Capcom’s commitment to quality with these releases.
