The rumors were true. Capcom's blockbuster horror series is finding a new home on Switch 2. Not only will Resident Evil Requiem be a day-one release on Nintendo's portable console in February 2026, but Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil Village will be joining it as a collection on the same day. The Switch 2 trailer opened with FBI agent Grace Ashcroft investigating a series of murders in spooky hotel amid one jump scare after another. The footage appeared to be taken from a Switch 2 though the trailer didn't immediately confirm that. If that's the case, the ninth mainline Resident Evil isn't looking too shabby on the weaker hardware.

Sure, I sometimes got frustrated with its insta-fail stealth missions, but I also loved the chance to just soak up the vibes in a backwater cantina, or crush my opponents in a game of sabacc. In the time since, the gameplay has seen many refinements and the story has been expanded with a few new chapters, and I've been curious to see just how much of an impact these changes would have on my experience.
