Resident Evil Requiem: Development Reportedly Extends to Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 4

Resident Evil Requiem, the next anticipated mainline entry from Capcom’s acclaimed survival horror series, has been officially announced for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

However, recent credible reports suggest that Capcom is also developing versions for the Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 4, potentially broadening the game’s availability and reach.

This update, which comes amid continuous demand for multiplatform releases, could see one of the industry’s most celebrated franchises reaching both next-generation and legacy users. Dusk Golem, a renowned insider within the Resident Evil community known for accurate early leaks, has corroborated that multiple reputable sources have communicated to him—and to others within the industry—that Resident Evil Requiem development is underway for both the Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 4.

In a recent social media statement, Dusk Golem summarized, "Many reliable contacts over the past month have conveyed that Capcom is preparing versions of Resident Evil Requiem not just for current-generation consoles, but also for the Nintendo Switch 2 and PlayStation 4.

While these versions are in development, it is currently uncertain whether they will be available at the title's initial release." The possibility of Resident Evil Requiem arriving on more hardware platforms underscores Capcom’s strategy to maximize its audience.

The company has historically prioritized broad platform support; past Resident Evil entries such as Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 2 Remake have launched across multiple consoles, ensuring millions of players can experience the series regardless of their preferred hardware. While official details regarding a Nintendo Switch 2 or PlayStation 4 release remain unconfirmed—Capcom’s only public announcement lists PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S—multiple industry sources reinforce the credibility of these reports.

Dusk Golem also noted that distinct technical requirements might result in different versions for each platform, further illustrating Capcom’s commitment to optimizing the Resident Evil experience for a diverse gaming audience. Resident Evil Requiem’s launch on next-generation systems is anticipated to continue the franchise's legacy of commercial and critical success.

The Resident Evil series has sold over 146 million units globally as of 2024, placing it among Capcom’s top-performing franchises.

Extending Requiem’s reach via the Nintendo Switch 2, a hotly awaited successor to Nintendo’s best-selling console, and maintaining PlayStation 4 support, represents a strategic move to bolster first-year sales and franchise engagement. As it stands, Capcom has yet to comment on the persistent reports about additional platforms.

Until an official announcement is made, Resident Evil Requiem is confirmed exclusively for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Gaming fans should stay tuned to official channels and trusted news sources for updates on this high-profile survival horror adventure.
