RE 2 3 4 Remakes Hit Switch 2 Soon
Capcom is making waves in the gaming world by bringing a beloved era of horror classics to the next generation of handheld gaming. The trilogy of Resident Evil remakes 2, 3, and 4 are set to land on the Nintendo Switch 2 next month, promising fans an unforgettable experience on the go.
This major porting was officially announced during the recent Nintendo Direct, signaling Capcom’s commitment to ensuring that the legacy of classic survival horror remains accessible and enjoyable for a new generation of players. The digital versions of these remakes will become available on October 16, with physical copies slated for release in January 2027.
What makes this offering particularly appealing is the freedom it provides to players. Unlike exclusive collections, fans will be able to choose which of the remakes they want to acquire and dive into, giving them total control over their gaming experience. Furthermore, the packages will include their respective DLCs, such as the highly anticipated 4’s Separate Ways expansion, allowing players to fully experience the expanded narrative.
Beyond the remakes, the platform offers a massive opportunity to revisit the entire Resident Evil saga. The bulk of the mainline numbered games, including titles like Resident Evil 7, Village, and Requiem for Redemption, are natively available on the Switch 2. Even those original masterpieces from the earlier era are accessible thanks to backward compatibility, allowing players to utilize their existing collections of Resident Evil 1, 5, and 6 games.
This means players can engage with the entire Resident Evil history on the Switch 2. The news is only getting started, as Capcom continues to expand the franchise’s reach. The focus now turns to the next installment in the series, with details emerging for the next remake, which is slated to be for Code Veronica.
