Capcom is set to deliver a fresh Resident Evil experience for Nintendo fans as Resident Evil Requiem lands on the Nintendo Switch 2 on February 27, 2026.
This highly anticipated release adds to the acclaimed survival horror franchise and introduces several Nintendo-exclusive features designed to appeal directly to Switch 2 users, including special editions, a limited-edition Pro Controller, and a thematically designed amiibo. What truly sets the Nintendo Switch 2 version apart is its exclusive cover art for the standard physical edition.
Unlike its counterparts on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, the Switch 2 version features unique artwork showcasing main protagonist Grace Ashcroft, who serves as an FBI intelligence analyst within the game's gripping narrative.
This design divergence underscores Capcom’s commitment to offering Nintendo fans a tangible and distinctive collectible, as noted by communities and industry watchers such as Nintendo Everything.
Conversely, the Deluxe Edition across all platforms retains a consistent cover design, indicating the exclusivity applies only to the standard physical release on Switch 2. Resident Evil Requiem’s launch will also mark the release of a Game-Key Card edition for Nintendo Switch 2, catering to collectors and enthusiasts who prefer physical media.
Players can anticipate the same high-quality gameplay experience across all supported platforms, as Capcom has confirmed feature parity for the Nintendo release.
Notably, the Switch 2 edition will be available simultaneously with the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions, signaling Capcom's dedication to equal launches across major hardware ecosystems. Further enriching the offering, Capcom will introduce a special 'Generation Pack' bundle for Switch 2 users, which includes Resident Evil Requiem, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, and Resident Evil: Village.
Both accompanying titles will also debut for Switch 2 on the same release date, February 27, 2026, expanding the console’s horror game portfolio and offering substantial value for fans of the series. These initiatives reflect Capcom’s ongoing efforts to support Nintendo hardware with premium content and tailored experiences, as evidenced by previous Resident Evil launches on the eShop and through Nintendo Direct presentations.
With the addition of a limited-edition Pro Controller and a collectible amiibo, Resident Evil Requiem’s Nintendo Switch 2 launch stands out as a major highlight of the franchise’s current generation, promising both gameplay innovation and exclusive physical content for devoted Switch fans. Stay tuned for more Resident Evil updates and Nintendo Switch 2 news as Capcom prepares for its multi-platform February 2026 launch.
