Noted Capcom insider Dusk Golem is back again with another round of Resident Evil rumors, this time involving the Switch 2. According to Dusk Golem’s sources, Capcom is prepping ports of all six RE Engine Resident Evil games. In fact, with Nintendo just announcing a Nintendo Direct showcase for September 12, Dusk Golem claims that Resident Evil 7 is “at least” going to be there.
As always, things of these nature are not verified by Capcom, so take it with your salt.
Dusk Golem made the claim yesterday that this still is a “grapevine rumor”, but they have heard “very reliably several times now” that Capcom will be bringing Resident Evil 7, the remakes of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil Village, and the still-to-come Resident Evil Requiem to the Switch 2 as part of the series’ 30th anniversary. Unlike the original Switch ports, these new versions will be running natively from the console instead of being streamed from the cloud.
This all comes after Dusk Golem reported last week that Capcom was also rumored to be doing a PlayStation 4 port of Resident Evil Requiem. According to them, it’s unclear if the PS4 version will be available at the same time as the current-gen launch, but “it’s happening.”
If this is the case, the PS4 version of Requiem will be hit with some downgrades, since the PS4 obviously doesn’t have the capability for ray tracing and the like. Still, if this does indeed turn out to be true, previous-gen players won’t have to shelve their PS4 just yet.
Resident Evil Requiem will launch February 27 for PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.
