Resident Evil: Revelations Collection Heading To Nintendo Switch

default-featured-image

The Resident Evil series has always had a special relationship with Nintendo (director Shinji Mikami famously threatened to cut off his own head if Resident Evil 4 was released on a console other than the GameCube), and as a lifelong fan of both, it warms my heart to learn that Capcom will be releasing both Resident Evil: Revelations games on the Nintendo Switch.

Resident Evil: Revelations was originally released on the 3DS back in 2012. We reported earlier that a remaster was heading to the PS4 and Xbox One on August 29, which will presumably be the same as the Switch version. Revelations 2, on the other hand, has not previously been released on a Nintendo system, making this occasional all the more special.

The games will be released together as the Resident Evil: Revelations Collection later this year. The bundle will cost $39.99 and will include a cartridge for the first game and a download voucher for the second.

Resident Evil: Revelations 1 and 2 comes to Switch Late 2017
In Late 2017, you’ll be able to bring the horror of both the original Resident Evil Revelations and Revelations 2 with you on Nintendo Switch, too! I’ve already re-introduced you to the first game, but if you’re new to both games in this series, Revelations 2 focuses on a pair of intertwined stories. Claire Redfield returns as a member of TerraSave, an anti-bioweapon organization that gets caught up in an insidious plot. Joined by Moira Burton, the two try to escape from a desolate prison island. Meanwhile, Moira’s fan-favorite father and former member of S.T.A.R.S., Barry Burton, is looking for his daughter’s last known whereabouts on the same island, soon crossing paths with a child who claims to live on the island alone. Barry will need all the help he can get, as strange creatures are prowling the halls and caverns of the island.

On top of previous DLC being included in both games, Raid Mode makes a return in Revelations 2, offering up a wide selection of characters, new abilities and skills, and plenty of maps to put your aim and reflexes to the test. Choose your favorite character, customize your gun how you like it, and fight you way through either solo or via online co-op!

Resident Evil Revelations arrives on both digitally and at retail for PS4 and Xbox One on August 29 for $19.99. Resident Evil Revelations Collection will be coming to Nintendo Switch in late 2017 in North America, which includes one cartridge with Resident Evil Revelations as well as a download voucher for Resident Evil Revelations 2 for $39.99. Each game will also be available as a digital download for $19.99 as well. For all the latest info, follow Resident Evil on Twitter or Facebook!
