Resident Evil 2, 3 and 4 Remakes: Will All Come to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026?
The year 2026 brings many new ports for the Nintendo Switch 2. After the Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, Elden Ring is also expected to be available on the Switch 2 soon. However, Capcom also wants to show its presence on the Switch 2 and bring many of the Resident Evil games to the console. Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village have already been confirmed for next month, but according to leaks, the Resident Evil remakes are set to follow later this year.
Background on the Resident Evil Remakes
The games Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 have been released since 2019 and have been very positively received on other platforms. They modernize classics with contemporary graphics, gameplay optimizations, and improved controls. Previous versions ran on PS4, PS5, Xbox, and PC; on the Switch 1, there were only cloud versions because the console was underpowered. However, the hardware of the Switch 2 is now powerful enough to run the remakes natively without streaming, which is why the ports are expected now.
Details on the Switch 2 Rumors
According to leaker NateTheHate, who has published many leaks in the past, the Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 remakes are expected to be released for the Nintendo Switch 2 during the course of 2026. This version is expected to be on the same technical level as the PS5/Xbox Series, including options like ray-tracing or high frame rates where possible.
Capcom has already confirmed that major RE titles like Resident Evil Requiem, Resident Evil 7, and Village will be coming to the Switch 2 soon. This shows that Capcom is keen to bring many of the RE games to the console. The rumors align with a strategy to expand the Switch 2 game library with well-known brands.
Assessment & Outlook
If Capcom truly brings the remakes, it would be a major plus for the Switch 2 library. This would allow players to experience the classics on the go without compromising on quality or performance. While an official announcement from Capcom is still pending, it could follow on February 5, 2026, during the Nintendo Direct event. 2026 could be a strong year for Resident Evil fans on Nintendo handhelds.
