Today, Nintendo Direct surprised the gaming community with an unexpected announcement: the Resident Evil remakes are coming to Switch 2. Usually, Nintendo sticks to family-friendly games, but next month, players will be able to enjoy Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 on the new console. Some titles like Resident Evil 7, Village, and Requiem have already made their way to Switch 2, yet the highly anticipated remakes are still missing from the lineup.
Resident Evil Remakes Coming To Switch 2 On October 16 Will Include All Content From The PS5 And Xbox Series X|S Versions
The remakes won’t be missing for long, though, because finally, on October 16, they will be available for Switch 2 users to play and will be found on the Nintendo eShop. Only the digital versions will launch initially, but there’s hope that physical copies will be available later. As we saw with Requiem, the ports seem to perform very well, and if that game impressed you or if you’re eager to explore more of the Resident Evil universe, then you should start building anticipation for the remakes’ release. These remakes will include all the content found in the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions.
Here’s a brief overview of the remakes in case you’ve forgotten or are unaware of what the games entail. Resident Evil 2: Deluxe Edition revisits the story of the Raccoon City Incident and includes all available DLC for a complete experience. Jill Valentine’s perspective on that critical event is vividly depicted in the remake of Resident Evil 3, offering deeper insight into her character and the chaos she faces. Finally, Resident Evil 4 leaps forward six years to the Gold Edition, which takes players on Leon’s memorable journey. This edition also features exciting DLC, such as the Separate Ways expansion centered on Ada Wong, providing even more content for fans to enjoy.
