Hearsay: Resident Evil Requiem May Be Heading To The Change 2

The Resident Evil collection has seen fairly robust illustration on the Change, but it surely’s maybe secure to say that followers aren’t greatest happy with some titles being relegated to ‘Cloud Variations’.

We’re nonetheless ready to see whether or not Capcom is eager to re-release RE2, RE3, RE7, and RE Village natively on the Change 2, however for now, it appears the corporate is probably contemplating bringing its newest entry to Nintendo’s new {hardware}.

Resident Evil Requiem is due for launch on twenty seventh February 2026 and, in response to Nightfall Golem, who has been recognized to leak RE information previous to official bulletins, the sport is supposedly being deliberate for launch on each the Change 2 and the PS4.

This is what they needed to say through X (thanks, Nintendo All the pieces):

“I will not be at across the bush, Resident Evil Requiem ought to be releasing in PlayStation 4 & Nintendo Change 2, appears this was kinda’ recognized behind the scenes & within the grapevine.

“I am not the primary particular person to say this publicly truly, simply corroborating. Talked about it with 5 totally different individuals in the previous couple of weeks and know one other man with a great status mentioned as a lot lower than per week in the past. So not from me, however I’ve been listening to the identical factor.

“Uncertain if it will be at launch, and my guess is it will be a special model with totally different tech, sorta’ just like the 360 / PS3 & Wii / PS2 period, since some options of Requiem like ray tracing are centered on trendy platforms.

But when the query is, is it taking place or not, the reply just about is, yeah it is taking place.”

So, as talked about, if Requiem had been to return to the Change 2, then it could not launch day-and-date with the scheduled launch in February. As for the visuals and efficiency, nicely… that appears considerably apparent, proper? Nonetheless, if that is true, then it is not completely shocking. Capcom’s president not too long ago said that the preliminary response to the Change 2 caught the corporate off-guard, so it appears cheap to imagine that it will need to benefit from the exceptionally robust gross sales.

Resident Evil Requiem will star Grace Ashcroft, daughter of Resident Evil: Outbreak’s Alyssa Ashcroft, who’s instructed to analyze a collection of unusual deaths on the sinister Wrenwood Resort. The sport may even pay a go to to the ruined wasteland of Raccoon Metropolis, and it is closely rumoured that RE veteran Leon Kennedy will play a job, presumably as a second playable protagonist.

The Resident Evil franchise may even be celebrating its thirtieth anniversary subsequent yr, with Capcom not too long ago launching a devoted web site to commemorate the milestone.
