Capcom has officially confirmed that Resident Evil Requiem will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 on February 27, 2026, alongside releases for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Marking a significant debut for the series on Nintendo’s next-generation platform, the launch is accompanied by several exclusive bonuses tailored for long-time Nintendo fans. One standout feature of the Resident Evil Requiem Switch 2 physical release is its unique cover art.
Unlike the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S editions, the standard Switch 2 version will present new box artwork featuring Grace Ashcroft, the game’s protagonist and an FBI intelligence analyst.
This distinguishing cover design sets the Nintendo Switch 2 copy apart, adding to its collectability for fans and emphasizing Capcom’s commitment to platform-specific offerings. Capcom is also enhancing the player experience with additional Nintendo-themed extras.
The company plans to release a limited edition Pro Controller themed after Resident Evil Requiem, as well as a special amiibo featuring one of the game’s central characters.
These peripherals are expected to be available alongside the game's launch, providing players and collectors with new ways to engage with the Resident Evil universe on their preferred hardware. According to Capcom, the gameplay experience on Switch 2 will remain fully consistent with other platforms, with no compromises in features or content.
The publisher confirmed that the physical edition for Switch 2 will utilize Nintendo’s Game-Key Card format, ensuring a traditional cartridge experience for physical collectors.
For fans interested in expanded content, Capcom will also offer a ‘Generation Pack’ bundle.
This package will include Resident Evil Requiem along with two acclaimed series entries, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil: Village, both set to launch for Switch 2 on the same February 27, 2026 release date. It is important to note that while the standard edition of Resident Evil Requiem for Switch 2 features distinctive cover art, the Deluxe Edition across all formats will share a unified design.
Capcom’s approach demonstrates a careful balance between platform parity and exclusive content that rewards dedicated Nintendo customers. As Nintendo Switch 2 continues to generate anticipation ahead of its release, Capcom’s Resident Evil Requiem efforts highlight both the ongoing strength of third-party support for Nintendo hardware and the importance of meaningful exclusives in today’s competitive gaming landscape.
Be sure to mark your calendar for February 27, 2026, and watch for these exclusive items to arrive alongside one of the year’s most anticipated multi-platform launches.
