Resident Evil Requiem is expected to be launched latest by 27 February 2026. As per the reports, the game’s arrival on Switch 2 will be eminent after it gets launched on other platforms.
And so, the year 2026 will mark an explosion of third-party support for the Nintendo Switch 2. More than the above, fans can expect an amiibo of Grace Ashcroft along with a Requiem-themed Switch 2 controller to launch alongside her.
As pre-orders for the upcoming Resident Evil commenced on Wednesday night, Capcom revealed the Requiem-themed extras for the Switch 2.
It looks quite impressive for such an iconic horror series, especially since the Switch 2 lineup includes just one Pro Controller almost 5 months after launch. Well, it happens to be the same plain black controller seen with the original Switch.
Nintendo Reveals Themed Requiem Controller and Grace Amiibo for Upcoming Resident Evil Requiem
Until now, the design that fans are expecting is largely the black. Further, the design choice for the Requiem controller reveals that Nintendo may not be looking to move far from its original black finish.
This is the reason why it suggests that some games like Pokemon Legends: Z-A and Mario Kart World have absolutely no inbuild controllers. Well, the basic design of Resident Evil happens to be the Pro Controller type having the print of newspaper right on its face.
The Pro Controller of Requiem has revealed that Grace was actually turned into an amiibo. It further looks like that Nintendo and Capcom are keeping the amiibo hidden for now, even though the controller has already been revealed. I’m pretty much sure that by tapping it the Requiem Pro Controller will give players a few in-game bonuses.
If you wish to purchase Resident Evil Requiem Pro Controller, it will cost you somewhere around $99.99. Please note that pre-orders are available on Nintendo store.
I suggest you at this time, there is no need for you to go ahead for Metroid Prime 4: Beyond on the upcoming holiday season. Even though you decide to purchase it soon, you still won’t be able to get it after it gets actually launched on February 27, 2026.
At this time, Nintendo has restricted the pre-order purchases for Grace amiibo as it doesn’t have anything to show. In any case, it will be very costly to gamers.
It’s nowhere near the $100 price of the Pro Controller, yet a few of the Switch 2-era amiibo have been selling for quite a bit.
Last week’s reveal added three more Kirby Air Riders amiibo, making it five in total. If you plan to grab the whole lineup. In case, you still wish to purchase it, it will somewhere cost you up to $250. Well, It seems Grace’s amiibo won’t be packaged with a vehicle, with a price as low as $30.
