Resident Evil Requiem Has Been Officially Confirmed For Switch 2

Where is 2, 3 and 4 remakes?

It will be released just in time for my marathon. Completed RE1 for the first time yesterday, after years of giving up!

If it isn’t too gory, I may get this.

Really I just want the 4 remake but I'm sure it'll come eventually.

Looked very shimmery and not a good candidate for the IPS handheld screen, but more options for more people is always a plus.

Hope it's a good port for those who only own a switch 2 but, like, this didn't look like it's something you'd want to get in the system OVER the other versions.

7 looked damn good tho.

Great! Now I can finally play those games! Really looking forward to them and hopefully more ports of the other remakes!

Great news. RE7 and Village also coming to Switch 2 as well.

Finally I got more reasons to buy a Switch 2.

Plus Fatal Frame 2 remake

This was the only thing that excited me from today's Direct, other than actually getting an MP4 date.
Good to be getting third party games day-and-date with other consoles again.

It's a nice get for Nintendo but PS5, Series X or PC are all better places to play it. Would've been more hype if the direct itself had been better.

Nice that they're getting out day and date. Very much glad Capcom is committed to the Switch super hard rn

I hope 7 & 8 are a bit discounted due to their age. 🤞

This actually was a pretty good first look for this game on Switch 2, so I'm a little surprised that this wasn't announced alongside the other platforms, especially since it's launching day-and-date with PS5, PC, and Xbox. I wonder if this version only recently started development.

Good news. Glad it's coming alongside Village.

I'd love 4 remake (as 4 is one my favourite games of all time) too.

Enjoy in gaming.

Nice to see current gen game being already in the pipe to be released together with the other platforms.
Getting it day one for sure.

The quality in this video is much better than in the Nintendo stream. Still hair rendering and shadow resolution are looking poor, and 30 fps (of course).

Might not be a Cloud version, but I bet it'll be a Game Key Card.

This is great news as I don’t need to dish $500 for a PS5 when the PS6 is like 1 year away

Thanks Capcom

Also, encarcerating Fatal Frame 2 to the S2 is such BS

@Fighting_Game_Loser They did report a loss recently and feel that supporting Switch 1&2 could help avoid that in the future.

now we just need Resi 2 and 3make that way all the mainline Resi games will be available natively on Switch

(Yes 4 Remake would be cool too)

I have no other way to play this so I'm happy I'm getting it on S2. Definitely graphically downgraded but it's ok.

Nice for Switch 2 only gamers. I wouldn't mind the downgrade playing in portable mode. But the Switch 2 LCD display would do these games no favors.

Game key cards too. I'll play Requiem on PS5 Pro instead.

Glad to see S2 getting RE games on board.

Nice to see the new one day and date!

So, this is what it will look like if your PC does not support RTX/Path Tracing?

I'll probly pick this up on Switch 2. Hopefully they do a few cute gimmicks with the controller features.

God, that English voice-over... Kyle Crane in Dying Light sounds perfect, especially if compare him to characters speaking in 9 requiem trailer.
If I'll ever play 9 requiem, it will happen only with the Japanese voice-over ON.

Did they definitely say official versions and not cloud. Most likely key cards though. 🙁

I'll take what I can get though as long as they're not cloud versions.

So does this mean we could get kingdom hearts natively on switch 2?

If the games are fully on cart, then I'm interested.

I can't believe we're finally getting brand new big Resident Evil day and date with other platforms and it had a brand new trailer in a Nintendo Direct.....beautiful.

@anoyonmus ff2 is my favourite in the series. Can't wait to play it again!

Perhaps the REmakes will come. Same day as other consoles is tight.

watch it being a game key card.

@SBandy1 Give them time. I'm sure they'll come.

Sounds good, it's nice that they aren't cloud versions! Hopefully the physicals are fully on the card as well! 🤞

@SBandy1 Will come later next year probably.

For now, let us rejoice that RE7, 8 and 9 are coming to Switch 2

No cloud versions, but they'll almost definitely be game key cards, so I'm skipping them anyway if that's the case. Too bad.

Sadly, I think these will be GKCs, especially Requiem.

I will get REVII and REVIII together, but I’ll wait a little while on RE9.

@SBandy1 probably coming later in 2026 would be my guess, likely summer or fall...? It would be a bit much to announce six games coming on one release date, especially when Requiem is the big new release. VII and VIII are connected to it, so I understand why those two are coming the same day.

@Zuljaras still a bit better then just code-in-box

@SBandy1 They will definitely come later. Capcom just taking their time. I think they might announce them close to the next Resident evil 4-like game is released (Resident evil Code Veronica remake maybe) but hopefully sooner

This was THE game I was waiting to choose Switch 2 as my primary console. Portability + Nintendo games beats whatever Sony was trying to do with PS5 generation.

This is exciting, the last Nintendo console I could consider my primary console was SNES in the 90s.

Marvelous hearing this but I may get it for my PS5 but we shall see.

Now this is exciting, the biggest third-party announcement of the Direct.
It's just a shame the previous games are coming later, and what about the remakes? An October surprise for at least one of them could've been cool.

"Both titles originally launched on the Switch as Cloud Versions to much criticism, so hopefully these native versions will go toward restoring some faith from Nintendo fans."

Not if it's a key-card.

By far the best part of the direct

A simultaneous launch on all consoles including switch 2 is a nice surprise

This is massive news for switch 2 owners and same day release as other consoles. Was worried it would be releasing later due to rumors but a day one purchase. 100% double dipping for 7 & 8 also.

@AG_Awesome I hope to win the lottery

Physical with game on cards and this is an instant buy

@sixrings Me too!

If they are physical I'll get 8 and 9.

@DTfearTheBEARD
I'll definitely be passing on the NS2 version. The downgraded graphics, resolution and possibly frame rate make it a total no brainer to roll with the PS5 Pro, or PS5 version. Although, NS2 owners might just have the benefit of playing both 7 & 9 with Gyro Aiming & Mouse controls, handheld hybrid compatibility aside if that's your thing. Even though the DualSense has the exact same Gyro as NS2 Pro controller, Capcom always typically fumbles with Gyro implementation. it always feels messy, clunky & unreliable like it did for both RE4R & Village for PS5. Great examples of 10/10 Gyro controls, would be for Quake, Quake 2, Turok, DOOM I+II & Power Slave: Exhumed once you've fine tuned them in the settings.

But even then playing this on a PS5 Pro just isn't good enough for me on a 65" QD-OLED with an amazing surround sound system or great pair of headphones(+ DAC/Amp), having experienced Resident Evil Village on PlayStation VR2. The experience i had with that made playing it on a TV feel like nothing. Every time i resee those incredible VR Cutscenes i always have to scoop my jaw up off the floor. RE8 VR was one of the most incredible gaming experiences I've had in the last 20+ years. House Beneviento can kick rocks in VR. It's an entirely different experience when you feel as if you're actually IN it. lol

Anyways, If RE9 doesn't get PSVR2 support than my excitement is going to dwindle astronomically...Capcom LOVES VR for Resident Evil, so I'd be surprised if they didn't do it for Requiem because they supported VR for 7, Village & 4R, even if PSVR2 isn't exactly doing so hot at this point in the sales department. It would be one last massive-exclusive 'hurrah' for the headset. That's how you go out with a VR bang.

Where are the users who commented how this wasn't coming to Switch 2, because it would have been announced along with the other platforms?

@SBandy1 I own a Xbox one and a switch (and lots of older consoles). I bought a switch 2 assuming they would port 4 remake. I played 2 and 3. But damn. Cmon.

Oh boy! Now instead of Cloud versions we get Game-Key Card versions! Yaaaay!

Skip.

that a quite impressive port, considering Switch 2 is way weaker compared to current gen consoles(PS5 e Xbox series X/S).

Hell yea brother

look, i have a series x and a switch 2, i will double dip

Here's hoping that there is some upgrade route for those of us who purchased the cloud versions

Don't get your hopes up, this will probably be a key card

On device is king

All FF7 remakes and RE7, 8 AND 9? I guess the Switch 2 impressed some one...

I am happy about this of course but can't help but think the first person RE were not the ones I was hoping for.

Anyone has anything to say in their defense to help the hype a little? I have to say that direct was a whole bunch of nothing for me.

I noticed that they're not releasing REmake 2,3 &4 alongside 7&8

Which tells me the next remake is Switch 2 bound and that's when they'll release those
