A whole bunch ofResident Evilis coming to the Switch
Nintendo Switch owners will get a chance to check out the modern run ofResident Evil, thanks to the cloud.Resident Evil Villagearrives October 28, with three moreResident Evilgames coming in 2022, all via the cloud.
The first up isVillage, which launches on October 28 and will get theupcoming Winters’ Expansionon December 2. A demo is available now, so you can test out how the cloud processing works for your setup.
Winters’ Expansion adds a new third-person option toResident Evil Village, as well as a new story following Rose Winters and some new Mercenaries content.
Also coming to the Nintendo Switch via cloud are three moreResident Evilgames, all hitting this year. The modern remakes ofResident Evil 2and3will come to Nintendo Switch alongsideResident Evil 7, all available through cloud streaming.
Scary clouds on the horizon
Seeing these games come to Nintendo Switch at all is pretty exciting, though the cloud addendum puts a bit of an asterisk on it. These are some pretty hefty games, and it’s understandable that the Switch alone probably can’t do all the heavy lifting. It’sfar from the first gameto try it out, either.
But these cloud versions have had a history ofbeing pretty spotty, and in some casesdon’t hold up well to comparisons. At the very least, it’s nice that the demo gives players an option to try the current implementation out, and see if it’s the way they want to experience Ethan Winters’ Hand-Slammin’ Holiday Adventure.
Resident Evil Villagearrives on the Nintendo Switch via cloud on June 28, 2025. The other threeResident Evilentries will hit the Switch via cloud before year’s end.
