The Nintendo Switch 2 Pro controller has been given a makeover of survival horror proportions with the new Resident Evil Requiem Edition, set to launch for $99.99 on February 27, 2026.
It’s the same Switch 2 controller as before, but its faceplate now features a sleek gunmetal-inspired black design comprised of newspaper clippings. That feels very on brand, given the new Resident Evil Requiem game centers around protagonist and investigative reporter Grace Ashcroft as she explores the creepy and foreboding Wrenwood Hotel.
If the new Resident Evil controller is looking particularly itchy and tasty to you, I’ve gathered all the US and UK pre-orders links down below. In the US, I recommend sticking with Best Buy ($99.99) for now, as stock is sold out everywhere else. UK Resi fans will have to be a bit more patient as it has yet to drop anywhere, but I’ll update this page the moment it does.
