Capcom has confirmed that three of its high-profile Resident Evil remakes — Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 4 — will arrive on the Nintendo Switch 2 via the Nintendo eShop on October 16.
The company said the Switch 2 versions will include the same content packages offered on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.
Background and platform context
Capcom developed the three remakes in-house.
Resident Evil 2 (the remake) originally launched on January 25, 2019 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC and was widely praised for modernizing the 1998 classic.
Resident Evil 3 (remake) followed on April 3, 2020 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC.
Resident Evil 4 (remake) released on March 24, 2023, and was made available on current-generation consoles and PC.
These remakes have been central to Capcom’s recent strategy of revitalizing legacy IP with contemporary production values.
Rewritten announcement
In clear journalistic terms, Capcom’s announcement states that the studio will publish the remade editions of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 4 for the Nintendo Switch 2 on October 16 through the Nintendo eShop, and that the Switch 2 releases will contain the same content that accompanies the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S editions.
What this means for players and the market
If shipped as announced, these releases bring three of Capcom’s most commercially and critically significant remakes to Nintendo’s next-generation hardware in a digital format.
For publishers and developers, multi-platform availability across flagship consoles and Nintendo’s ecosystem supports broader audience reach and long-term catalog monetization.
Developer track record
Capcom’s Resident Evil remakes have been both commercial successes and influential design references for the survival-horror genre.
The studio’s work on these titles has reinforced Capcom’s reputation for high-quality remastering and remake projects, extending the lifecycle of legacy franchises across modern platforms.
