Today, during the Nintendo Direct livestream, Capcom announced that the next chapter in its storied horror franchise, Resident Evil Requiem, will launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on February 27, 2026–the same day as the other consoles and PC.

Resident Evil Requiem was originally announced during Summer Game Fest in June. This new Resident Evil is set 30 years after the events of the original Raccoon City outbreak, and it stars a new heroine, FBI agent Grace Ashcroft, as she investigates the derelict Wrenwood Hotel in search of answers after a series of grisly events.

The announcement came alongside news that the Gold Editions of both Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village will be ported to the Switch 2 on the same day. The Gold Edition for both RE7 and REV include the base game and downloadable expansions in a single purchase.

The Nintendo Direct featured over an hour of news and reveals for games coming to both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. Release dates were confirmed for Hades 2, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, while a new entry in the Fire Emblem franchise, Fortune’s Weave, served as the final announcement of the show.

The first 20 minutes of the Direct were dedicated to the Super Mario Bros. 40th Anniversary celebration, which includes Switch 2 ports of both Super Mario Galaxy games, Super Mario Bros. Wonder Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup at Bellabel Park, Mario Tennis Fever, and a new Yoshi game called Yoshi and the Mysterious Book. The segment also confirmed the name of the next movie in the Mario franchise, the Super Mario Galaxy Movie, which hits theaters in April 2026.
