Resident Evil fans playing on the Nintendo Switch have a lot to look forward to as it was announced at the 9/13/22 Nintendo Direct that Cloud versions of Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, Resident Evil 2: Remake, and Resident Evil 3: Remake would be coming to the Nintendo Switch later this year. The only one with a solid release date, Resident Evil Village, is slated to release on the console just before Halloween on October 28. It was also announced that the game’s DLC which is releasing on December 2 would also be making its way to the Switch at the same time as all other platforms as well.
