The Switch 2 will have more of the Resident Evil fun landing on it, with the Resident Evil Remakes making the way over
Just in time for the upcoming film, it looks as if we have the announcement that so many of the Resident Evil remakes will be making their way over to the Switch 2. Sadly, this will not be in time to play before the film, but Capcom will be dropping them all over there before Halloween. At least in digital form. So, if you have been holding out for the remakes of Resident Evil 2, 3, or 4, then you will need to get excited to see them landing on the Switch 2 this October 16th. If you are looking to get them in a physical form, you will need to wait until January 29th, but that is not too long of a wait. Not to get what you are about to see in the following video, we have to showcase them all.
For those wondering, this is not just going to be the base games of each of these Resident Evil titles, but it will also come with all of the updates and DLC that have been released for them up until now. That feels like it should be a standard for all of these remakes, but it did feel as if it needed to be stated. That way, you will know that you can expect to have all of the updated visuals, mechanics, and new story sections from the Resident Evil IP that you might have missed if you only played them decades ago when they all first launched. I do know some out there who fall into that category. Just know that you will have the chance to experience them all again, and in a way that many might not ever get to. That being on the move with a decent-sized screen. We are going to ignore all of the releases on the mobile phones out there for now, as those felt more like cash grabs than giving gamers what they truly wanted.

Will you be diving back into the Resident Evil IP with all of these titles when they launch in October, or will you stick to getting the physical forms of the games instead? Is it a bit of a surprise that they did not fight to get these out before the film’s release, or is it a plan to have them drop after the film would be leaving theaters? Do you count the other “mobile” versions of the game as a true release, or will this be the way that so many take the IP on the road with them? Let us discuss it all in the comment section down the page here. We will have more for Resident Evil in the future, so you will want to stick close to the website to see and hear about it all.
