Resident Evil on Nintendo Switch 2: 6 games, 3 available now and 3 on 16 October

• Resident Evil Requiem, Resident Evil 7 Gold Edition and Resident Evil Village Gold Edition are available now.
• Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition, Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition arrive on 16 October.

What happened

Capcom outlined its Resident Evil lineup for Nintendo Switch 2 on 16 September. The plan covers six recent entries in the series, split between an initial wave that is available now and a second wave due on 16 October. That means Capcom is quickly expanding the franchise’s presence on Nintendo’s new console with several mainline and special editions.

The three titles available now on Nintendo Switch 2 are Resident Evil Requiem, Resident Evil 7 Gold Edition and Resident Evil Village Gold Edition. Capcom also listed three releases for 16 October: Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition, Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition. The provided information does not specify whether this schedule is tied to the console launch or to a separate rollout per game.

According to the available information, the Switch 2 versions include all previously released DLC. That applies to the Gold and Deluxe editions Capcom named in this lineup, although the source does not specify exactly which expansions are included in each edition. It also does not break down whether the content differs by region or store version.

The announcement focuses on a mix of a new title and earlier mainline games from the franchise. Resident Evil Requiem appears alongside Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village, while Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 4 make up the second wave. Capcom presents the six releases as part of one broader Switch 2 plan for the series.

Background

The announcement covers six recent Resident Evil games coming to Nintendo Switch 2. The lineup includes a new title, Resident Evil Requiem, plus several earlier mainline and Gold or Deluxe editions from the franchise. That gives Capcom a spread across different parts of the series, from later releases to older chapters being reissued in expanded editions.

Resident Evil 7 Gold Edition and Resident Evil Village Gold Edition are the two Gold editions in the first wave. Resident Evil 2 Deluxe Edition is the only Deluxe edition in the second wave, while Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition is another Gold release. Resident Evil 3 is listed in the schedule without an extra edition label, as noted in the provided information.

Capcom describes the Switch 2 versions as complete editions with all previously released DLC. The provided information does not break down which content is included in each game, and no individual expansion names are mentioned. So the only confirmed detail is that these are not bare base versions, but bundles with previously released extra content.

The available information also does not mention technical details, pricing or platform differences between the six releases. What is clear is that Capcom has split the schedule into two moments: three titles now and three titles on 16 October. That split is the central detail in the announcement and forms the basis of the Resident Evil rollout on Switch 2.
