Capcom will release Resident Evil Requiem, the newest installment in the series, on February 27th, launching alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 version. Gamers on the new console will also receive Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village, two titles that revitalized the series with their blend of horror and action. Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, released in January 2017, presented a new first-person perspective and a focus on terror, a change that was generally well-received after the series’ reputation suffered following Resident Evil 6 in 2012. Both Resident Evil 7: Biohazard Gold Edition and Resident Evil Village Gold Edition will be available on Nintendo Switch 2, running natively rather than through the cloud, and arriving with the console launch. Also launching on the Nintendo Switch 2 are the platformer Love Eternal, the roguelike BlazBlue Entropy Effect X, and Super Bomberman Collection: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. Resident Evil Village will join Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Requiem on Nintendo Switch 2 on February 27th, 2026. The game follows Ethan’s search for his missing girlfriend.
