at the Nintendo Switch 2 with a number of exclusive announcements for the console.

First up is the Resident Evil Requiem-themed Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, which Nintendo will release alongside the game on February 27, 2026.

Next is the Resident Evil Generation Pack, due out for Nintendo Switch 2, which contains:

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

And finally, the first ever Resident Evil amiibo is on its way in the form of Grace Ashcroft, the game’s playable character. It’s due out summer 2026. Of course, given the speculation around Leon also being a playable character in Resident Evil Requiem, fans are wondering if a Leon amiibo is also in the works.

It’s a big day for Resident Evil Requiem announcements.
