Resident Evil Requiem Announced for Nintendo Switch 2: Major Series Titles Launching February 2026

Capcom has officially announced that Resident Evil Requiem is set to launch on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, marking a significant arrival for the acclaimed survival horror series on Nintendo's next-generation platform.

The highly anticipated title is scheduled for release on February 27, 2026, adding to the suite of major third-party releases coming to the new console. In a landmark move for the Resident Evil franchise, Capcom will also bring Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village to Nintendo Switch 2, both arriving alongside Resident Evil Requiem on the same date.

This synchronized launch underscores Capcom’s dedication to expanding the beloved survival horror saga to a wider audience and making the franchise’s latest chapters accessible on new hardware. Since its inception in 1996, the Resident Evil series has defined the survival horror genre, amassing over 146 million units sold worldwide as of 2023, according to Capcom’s official sales figures.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, originally released in 2017, reinvigorated the series with its first-person perspective and intense psychological horror.

Resident Evil Village, launched in 2021, continued this trajectory, earning widespread acclaim for its gripping atmosphere and storytelling.

Bringing these two landmark entries to the Nintendo Switch 2 further cements the platform’s reputation as a destination for thoughtful, high-quality third-party titles. Speaking via official channels, Capcom highlighted the importance of extending the Resident Evil experience to new hardware, stating their goal is to "deliver the iconic Resident Evil experience to a broader player base through the capabilities of Nintendo Switch 2." The simultaneous release of three mainline Resident Evil titles—particularly a new entry such as Requiem—signals robust support for the Switch successor at launch and offers fans both a continuation of the series and access to recent hit titles in one coordinated rollout. With Resident Evil Requiem, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, and Resident Evil Village all launching on February 27, 2026, Nintendo Switch 2 is poised to become a must-have console for survival horror enthusiasts.

This announcement not only reinforces Capcom’s close partnership with Nintendo but also sets the stage for a strong software lineup as Nintendo introduces its latest hardware to market. Stay tuned for further details on gameplay, features, and how Capcom plans to leverage the new capabilities of the Nintendo Switch 2 in these upcoming Resident Evil releases.
