Capcom made a surprise appearance during today’s September 2025 Nintendo Direct to announce that Resident Evil Requiem, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, and Resident Evil Village are coming to Nintendo Switch 2.
The latest mainline trio in the Resident Evil series showed up for the Direct with a Switch 2 release date of February 27, 2026, for all three titles. While Biohazard and Village have been in players’ hands for years, today’s trailer also came with a fresh look at gameplay for Requiem, which is also set to launch for other platforms the same day.
“Confront fear like you’ve never experienced in the ninth entry in the chilling Resident Evil series,” an official description says. “Return to a ruined, abandoned Raccoon City in a thrilling survival horror experience that features the series’ trademark combat, investigations, puzzles, and resource management.”
With months to go until launch, there is still much to be revealed about Resident Evil Requiem. However, we did get to go hands-on with the game just a few weeks ago, and shortly after, we spoke with the Capcom team for an all-encompassing interview.
We’ll know more about Resident Evil Requiem when it launches in February. The ports of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village coming to Switch 2, meanwhile, are the Gold Edition versions of each experience, granting players access to additional content.
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Resident Evil 8: Village, and Resident Evil 9: Requiem come to Switch 2 early next year. While we wait for any sign of Leon S. Kennedy, you can check out everything announced during the September 2025 Nintendo Direct here.
