Capcom is going all out Resident Evil Requiem The Nintendo Switch 2 has seen a number of exclusive announcements for the console.

The first is the Resident Evil Requiem-themed Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller, which Nintendo will release alongside the game on February 27, 2026. This is the first Switch 2 game to have its own Pro controller.

Next up is the Resident Evil Generation Pack, launching for Nintendo Switch 2, which includes:

• Resident Evil Requiem
• Resident Evil 7 Resident Evil Gold Edition
• Resident Evil Village Gold Edition

Finally, the first Resident Evil amiibo is coming in the form of the game's playable character Grace Ashcroft. The game will launch in summer 2026. Of course, fans are wondering if a Leon amiibo is also in the works, given speculation that Leon is also a playable character in Resident Evil Requiem.

Today is a big day for the release of Resident Evil Requiem. Pre-orders are now live and we've confirmed the in-game bonuses for the Deluxe Edition.

As we said, There's been a lot of speculation about Leon's role alongside Grace in Resident Evil Requiembut there was no official mention of Leon in today's announcement. We did get a new Road to Requiem overview trailer, which can be seen below, including a brief snippet of the trailer.

While we wait to learn about Leon, we have a lot more about Resident Evil Requiem for you to read on, including Game director explains why Western fans prefer playing first-personand how Developers can't tell if games are actually scarier.

Back at Gamescom, we discussed a range of topics with director Akifumi Nakanishi – Super monster Lisa Trevor and Raccoon City in the game! — while avoiding the elephant in the room: Leon S. Kennedy's continued absence.

“Resident Evil Requiem” will be released on February 27, 2026 for Nintendo Switch 2, PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S.
