Capcom and Nintendo have unveiled a highly anticipated addition to the amiibo lineup—the Resident Evil Requiem amiibo.
Designed to celebrate the enduring legacy of the Resident Evil franchise, these collectible figures are scheduled to release this summer for the Nintendo Switch platform, further expanding the range of interactive experiences available to players.
The Resident Evil series, developed by Capcom, has long been a staple in the survival horror genre, with its distinct blend of atmospheric storytelling and action-oriented gameplay.
Since its inception in 1996, Resident Evil has evolved into one of the best-selling video game franchises, with cumulative shipments surpassing 146 million units worldwide as of 2023.
The launch of the Resident Evil Requiem amiibo highlights Capcom’s commitment to celebrating its iconic franchises while leveraging Nintendo's popular hardware ecosystem. Nintendo’s amiibo figures are known for their seamless integration with Switch games, offering players unique in-game content, cosmetic features, and bonus items.
The upcoming Resident Evil Requiem amiibo will be compatible with select Resident Evil titles on the Nintendo Switch.
While details on specific functionality are forthcoming, amiibo typically provide exclusive rewards or features when scanned via the console’s NFC reader. In an official announcement, Capcom and Nintendo jointly stated that the Resident Evil Requiem amiibo are "crafted to honor key characters and moments from the series, providing fans with a new way to connect with the Resident Evil universe." Both figures are expected to be available through major retailers as well as the Nintendo eShop and My Nintendo Store starting later this summer. The reveal of these amiibo arrives at a time when crossover collaborations between video game franchises and hardware manufacturers have never been more popular.
Capcom has already achieved critical acclaim with recent releases such as Resident Evil 4 Remake, which debuted on Nintendo Switch via cloud streaming, introducing the classic title to new fans and longtime enthusiasts alike. For collectors, the Resident Evil Requiem amiibo represent a must-have addition, boasting detailed sculpting that captures the essence of the franchise’s celebrated characters.
As the summer launch draws near, fans are encouraged to stay tuned to official Nintendo Direct broadcasts and Capcom’s social media channels for pre-order information and compatibility details.
With the release of the Resident Evil Requiem amiibo, Capcom and Nintendo mark a new chapter in their ongoing collaboration, offering Nintendo Switch users another unique way to engage with one of gaming’s most renowned franchises.
