The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller – Resident Evil Requiem Edition is a limited-edition wireless controller officially licensed by Nintendo and themed around Resident Evil Requiem, the upcoming mainline entry in Capcom’s survival horror series. Announced on October 29, 2025, as part of the “Road to Requiem” reveal, this is the first special-edition Pro Controller for the Nintendo Switch 2 console. It launches alongside the game on February 27, 2026, and is designed to capture the dark, immersive atmosphere of the Resident Evil universe.
Design and Features
Color and Theme: Gunmetal-black finish matching the standard Switch 2 Pro Controller, but with a custom front faceplate featuring in-world fictional newspaper clippings from Raccoon City. The design includes the “Resident Evil” logo at the top and “Requiem” below it, evoking a gritty, horror-inspired aesthetic.
Functionality: Full compatibility with Nintendo Switch 2, including motion controls, HD Rumble, amiibo support, and up to 40 hours of battery life. No additional hardware changes from the standard model—it’s purely cosmetic.
Packaging: Ships in a themed box with Resident Evil Requiem artwork.
This controller stands out as an unexpected collaboration, especially since Resident Evil titles have historically performed well on Nintendo hardware (e.g., Resident Evil 4 remake on Switch).
