Capcom’s enduring survival horror franchise, Resident Evil, is set to make a major impact on the next generation of Nintendo hardware.
During the Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase on February 5, 2026, Capcom gave fans an extensive look at Resident Evil Requiem ahead of its highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 launch, scheduled for February 27, 2026. The showcase delivered fresh gameplay footage, further emphasizing Capcom’s focus on atmospheric visuals and tense action sequences—elements that have become hallmarks of the Resident Evil series.
The presentation also unveiled newly designed amiibo figures inspired by the upcoming title, encouraging collectors and fans to expand their shelves with these coveted Nintendo collectibles. In a statement during the Nintendo Direct event, Capcom representatives highlighted the close collaboration with Nintendo to deliver a seamless survival horror experience optimized for the Nintendo Switch 2 platform.
They noted that the company is, “dedicated to bringing the chilling world of Resident Evil to life on Nintendo’s latest hardware, ensuring players enjoy smooth performance and immersive gameplay.” In addition to Resident Evil Requiem, Capcom confirmed that both Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village will be released for the Nintendo Switch 2 on the same day.
This marks a significant milestone for the franchise, as two of the series’ most critically acclaimed entries will become accessible to an even wider audience through Nintendo’s popular console ecosystem. To commemorate these simultaneous releases, Nintendo introduced a special edition Resident Evil Requiem-themed Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller.
This exclusive controller, adorned with franchise motifs and colors, is designed to enhance the gameplay experience for both longtime fans and newcomers to the series. The Resident Evil series has consistently performed strongly on both physical and digital storefronts, with Capcom’s horror titles enjoying robust sales worldwide.
The addition of new amiibo, fresh hardware accessories, and a trio of mainline games marks a continued commitment to supporting the Nintendo platform. All three titles—Resident Evil Requiem, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, and Resident Evil Village—will be available via the Nintendo eShop and at physical retailers starting February 27, 2026.
With Capcom’s proven record of delivering compelling survival horror experiences, Nintendo Switch 2 players have much to anticipate this coming February. For further information, fans can revisit the official Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase from February 5, 2026, and keep an eye on the Nintendo eShop for preorder availability.
