New Switch 2 Trailer Highlights Resident Evil Requiem Amiibo
During Nintendo’s Partner Direct showcase, a new trailer for Resident Evil Requiem was unveiled, focusing on its amiibo figures. Although much of the gameplay has been previously disclosed, this trailer provided an engaging glimpse into the upcoming collectibles.
Resident Evil Requiem: New Details on Amiibo Figures
Capcom has been cautious in its promotional materials, notably avoiding graphic content in the trailer. Fans noticed this subtlety, especially concerning the protagonist Leon, whose shooting accuracy seems exaggeratedly cautious.
Amiibo Figures Unveiled
The trailer showcased two amiibo figures: Leon and Grace Ashcroft. Each amiibo unlocks unique cosmetic skins for in-game weapons, enhancing the player’s experience.
- Leon amiibo includes a neon skin for the Requiem handgun.
- Cosmetic modifications may suit later playthroughs but seem out of place during the initial horror experience.
Release Expectations
Although a specific release date for the amiibo has not been confirmed, they are anticipated to launch in Summer 2026. The main game, Resident Evil Requiem, is set for release on February 27, 2026, for the Switch 2.
As the release approaches, fans are eager to explore the game and express interest in the amiibo figures. The combination of new gameplay features and collectible items promises to enhance the gaming experience significantly.
