Capcom will release modern remakes of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition for Nintendo Switch 2 on October 16, 2026, the publisher confirmed following their announcement during Nintendo's September Direct.
The titles will be available digitally via the Nintendo eShop and bring much of Capcom's remade survival-horror catalog to Nintendo's next-generation handheld-console hybrid.
According to each game's eShop listing, the combined download size for all three remakes totals 55.9 GB.
In journalistic terms: eShop listings indicate a combined install size of 55.9 GB, meaning players should not need to clear an unusually large amount of Switch 2 storage to buy and install the full trio.
The per-title breakdown on the eShop is as follows: Resident Evil 2 is listed at 14 GB, Resident Evil 3 at 12.9 GB, and Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition at 29 GB.
Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition is the largest package, which aligns with the game's longer main campaign and the inclusion of an additional DLC campaign.
The eShop notes that the RE4 DLC campaign is shorter than the base campaign but is approximately comparable in length to Resident Evil 3.
For broader context, the combined 55.9 GB figure is roughly on par with Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5 and is substantially smaller than the reported install size for Final Fantasy VII Revelation on comparable platforms.
By comparison, Capcom's Resident Evil Requiem required approximately 28.7 GB for its Switch 2 install, demonstrating Capcom's ability to manage file sizes for the platform.
All three remakes will be distributed digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 beginning October 16, 2026.
These listings provide definitive technical details such as file sizes and platform availability; fans planning purchases or storage management should consult the eShop pages for each title for the most current information.
