A well-known leaker, Dusk Golem, has shared exciting news for Resident Evil fans: all Resident Evil games built with Capcom’s RE Engine are reportedly getting native ports for the Nintendo Switch 2. This includes the upcoming Resident Evil: Requiem, set to release on February 27, 2026, as well as Resident Evil 7, Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3 Remake, Resident Evil Village, and Resident Evil 4 Remake.
Dusk Golem, who has a strong track record with Capcom leaks, posted on X and ResetEra that these games will run directly on the Switch 2 hardware, not through cloud streaming. This means better performance and no need for a constant internet connection. The leaker mentioned Capcom has been working on these ports for some time, with Resident Evil: Requiem also planned for the Switch 2 alongside its confirmed platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
There’s also a rumor that Resident Evil 7 might appear at a Nintendo Direct on September 12, 2025, but Dusk Golem couldn’t confirm this, as their information focuses on development, not marketing plans. The news has sparked excitement, as the Switch 2’s power could handle these graphically intense games, unlike the original Switch, which relied on cloud versions for some Resident Evil titles.
Resident Evil: Requiem, revealed at Summer Game Fest 2025, follows FBI tech analyst Grace Ashcroft investigating murders tied to Raccoon City’s dark past. It promises a return to single-player horror with updated visuals. Fans are thrilled at the idea of playing it and other Resident Evil games portably on the Switch 2.
Capcom hasn’t officially confirmed these ports yet, so details like release dates or pricing remain unknown. However, the leaker’s reliable history has fans hopeful for big Resident Evil news soon, possibly at the upcoming Nintendo Direct.
