Survival horror was love at first window-breaking zombie dog for most fans of the genre, and Switch owners wanting a new survival horror fix won’t have to wait long. Three classic Resident Evil games are incoming, and they really aren’t too far off.

Capcom have today revealed that the release date for the upcoming trio on Nintendo Switch will be May 21st, with pre-orders of the games opening on February 28th. These three titles were all originally released on the Nintendo Gamecube, so it feels fitting for them all to return to Nintendo (again).

So from May, you can get your hands on:

– Resident Evil – the HD Remaster version of the Gamecube title, which itself was a remaster (don’t start).
– Resident Evil Zero – the slightly odd prequel, for all intents and purposes.
– Resident Evil 4 – recent nominee for the most ported game in the universe.

Capcom have confirmed that Europe will see these as individual digital downloads, with the NA region getting the Origins Collection of Resident Evil, and Resident Evil Zero as a physical collection, so I guess we will be importing that little gem. We’ve linked the original tweet below!

Resident Evil 0, 1, and 4 are coming to Nintendo Switch eShop on May 21!

Play all three masterpieces anywhere, such as:
– On trains 🚆
– During mansion tours 🏰
– Across the European countryside 🌄
