How Resident Evil: Requiem Plays on a Next-Gen Handheld — Nintendo Switch 2 Gameplay

At Tokyo Game Show 2025, attendees were able to try Resident Evil Requiem on the Nintendo Switch 2 for the first time.

Resident Evil Requiem is slated for early 2026 and is already regarded as one of Capcom’s most anticipated releases. The strong interest underscores that the Resident Evil franchise remains peerless.

Capcom initially announced the game only for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, but a few weeks ago the developers confirmed a Nintendo Switch 2 release. That opened the title to a new audience and immediately made it a focal point for prospective Switch 2 owners.

Attendees at Tokyo Game Show praised the portable build’s quality: the oppressive atmosphere, richly detailed locales and fluid gameplay convey the impression of a true next-generation experience.

A gameplay clip circulated online confirms this: players have highlighted the strong execution and say Resident Evil Requiem will become an important Switch 2 exclusive, strengthening the console’s appeal among horror fans.
