That’s not all, though. A limited edition Resident Evil Requiem Pro Controller has also been revealed for the Switch 2. Launching on the same day as the game itself, it’ll come in a gunmetal colour scheme and boast key iconography.
Later in the year, during Summer 2026, a Grace Ashcroft amiibo will also release for the Switch 2. Functionality has not been confirmed, and nor do we get to see exactly what it looks like just yet, but this is very exciting news for fans of amiibo.

A new Resident Evil Showcase will take place at the start of 2026 offering up a deeper look at Resident Evil Requiem before its launch, so be sure to look out for that.
In the meantime, those who enjoy keeping fancy boxes on their shelves will want to check out the ‘Generation Pack’, a special edition release containing Requiem alongside Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil: Village on Switch 2. All three games launch on the same day.
