Just in case you needed another stark reminder of the relentless march of time, it has been almost a decade since Capcom first unveiled Resident Evil 7: Biohazard back in June 2016. Following its tense, first-person horror debut in 2017, Nintendo fans were left with a rather unsavoury cloud version on the original Switch in 2021. Now, that is all about to change.

Capcom has announced that the game that revitalized the survival horror series is finally getting a proper, native release on the Nintendo Switch 2. This isn’t just a simple port, either. This version will allow players to experience the horrifying Baker family saga with the benefits of the new hardware, promising improved loading times, enhanced visuals, and the full, uncompromised experience that cloud streaming simply couldn’t deliver.

For those who have yet to experience the shift to a first-person perspective and the return to the series’ survival horror roots, this is the perfect opportunity. For veterans, it’s a chance to revisit the dilapidated bayou mansion in the best possible way on a Nintendo console. The wait for a proper, play-anywhere version of Ethan Winters’ nightmare is almost over.
