Upcoming Resurgence of Resident Evil on Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026 with RE4 Remake Possibilities

Capcom plans to release Resident Evil Requiem as part of a larger Resident Evil initiative for the Nintendo Switch 2, alongside Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village—and the company reportedly has even broader plans for the console. While Capcom has not announced Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4 remakes for the Switch 2, NateTheHate of Expedition 33 expects these remakes to be a major part of Capcom's 2026 lineup. He predicts that 2026 will be a significant year for third-party games on the platform, with Sega, Square Enix, and Capcom leading the charge, meaning more Resident Evil titles on Nintendo's latest console. Given this expectation, a Nintendo Direct in February is a likely venue for Capcom to unveil further plans, so fans should stay alert for related announcements.
