Resident Evil Requiem Shines with Horror on Switch 2
Capcom continues to establish its reputation as a leading third-party publisher for the Switch 2. Following the successful launch of Street Fighter 6, the company is set to release several high-profile titles, including Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, and Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection. All three games will also feature dedicated amiibo figures, enhancing the gaming experience for fans.
Resident Evil Requiem on Switch 2
Resident Evil Requiem is one of the standout games showcased during Capcom’s preview for the Switch 2. Players step into the shoes of Grace Ashcroft, who awakens in a medical bay. The demo highlights her terrifying escape through dark hallways with flickering lights and ominous sounds.
Gameplay Experience
The demo demonstrated a strong focus on atmospheric tension. Players will navigate through haunting environments, encountering creepy visuals, such as a horse statue that momentarily unnerves Grace. The graphics of Grace’s character model are impressively detailed, especially in the introductory cutscene.
- Targeting 60 fps on Switch 2
- No noticeable frame drops during gameplay
- Grace has limited weaponry, relying on glass bottles as distractions
The demo’s core experience involves fleeing from a menacing monster. This relentless pursuit keeps players engaged and amplifies the horror elements unique to the Resident Evil franchise.
Handheld vs. Docked Mode
Switching from docked to handheld mode presented a noticeable resolution difference without sacrificing gameplay quality. In handheld, the game maintained solid performance, although the graphics did scale down from 4K. Players will find that Grace’s terrified reactions enhance the suspense, creating an immersive horror experience.
Capcom’s New IP: Pragmata
Alongside Resident Evil Requiem, Capcom is also debuting a new title, Pragmata. This sci-fi third-person shooter features a soldier named Hugh and his android companion Diana, exploring a hostile lunar research facility.
Gameplay Mechanics
The demo focuses on teamwork, where players must manage Hugh’s combat actions and Diana’s hacking abilities simultaneously. While the game takes place in broader, brighter environments compared to Requiem, it impressively maintains gameplay fluidity.
- Unique hacking minigame integrates seamlessly into combat
- Responsive controls enhance the action-packed gameplay
- Switch 2’s HD rumble adds to the immersion
Even in handheld mode, Pragmata remains fully playable, allowing players to enjoy rich gameplay without compromise. The combination of light puzzle-solving and quick-time events keeps the player engaged throughout the demo.
Release Date
Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata will launch on February 27, alongside the releases of Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village for the Switch 2. With these titles, Capcom aims to continue building a robust library for Nintendo’s latest console.
