Update: We hope you didn't get too excited about yesterday's Resident Evil tease because all Capcom has done is add some information relating to past titles to its dedicated series website.
As you can see, another update to the portal is scheduled for the 22nd of February.
Original Story [Tue 15th Feb, 2022 08:00 GMT]: Capcom's Resident Evil Twitter account has just revealed that we can expect some news today.
The account's latest tweet says there's "there's something suspicious" going on and that the announcement will take place today (Feb 15th) at 4PM JST (that's 02:00 AM ET / 07:00 AM GMT).
However, the tag '#REBHFun' might suggest that this isn't a major announcement, but something more light-hearted.
It would seem that this is separate from the countdown timer that Capcom currently has running on its main site.

Oh god what if it's Resident Evil costumes for Among Us, e.g. Lady Dimitrescu Dress and hat, RCPD Uniform, Chris's Resi 5 outfit etc.
Im calling it now, its gonna be resident evil 15, they are gonna really throw a curveball
Resident Evil Classic Collection.
The PlayStation trilogy on modern consoles.
I hope it is the classic Resident Evil 1-3 + Code: Veronica released on modern platforms!!!! ...
Resident Evil...NFTs...probably.
REm4ke. I hate myself for stylizing it like that.
Resi 4 VR is supposed to be getting mercenaries mode DLC fairly soon. Could be linked to that.
Resident Evil Classic Trilogy for Nintendo Switch with physical release.
Capcom might be able to port the original 3 games without it being a shoddy port or empty box, with a download code.
Mehhh... Resident Evil has kind of jumped the shark for me. Pretty sure there was a zombie shark in one of them anyways, but RE VII was just...
Too out there for me.
Probably the rumored RE4 remake that won't be released on the Switch.
So no news here.
@Daniel36 Yep 4 was the last one I enjoyed and 6 was the last one I even tried.
Just not really Resident Evil anymore.
Yup NFTs!
How about something new?
We had RE4 on the last consoles since it’s release right?
People saying NFT lol. Resident Evil 4 Remake or Village DLC.
Its going to be the collection....OF NFT'S!
A collection would make sense for tomorrow's reveal looking at the included picture. The logo for RE2 is visible along with some other scratched out logos, and there's the classic RE zombie in the top right corner for more classic RE ties. The countdown is probably for the RE4 Remake that everyone knows is in development. Either way, I'm excited to see what comes! I've come to really love this series over the last few years, so I'm interested in whatever they announce.
4PM? Surely not a coincidence.
I hope it's gonna be a NFT sale!
@ShadowofTwilight22 A cloud version with a physical code in a box release only in US, store exclusive.
I hope it is Revelations 3 which was rumored to be a Switch-focused title from the data hack about a year ago. Not keeping my hopes up tho since I get the impression that the RE series has been focusing on newer hardware as of late.
Wasn't there a rumour of a Switch-exclusive Resident Evil game??
@UglyCasanova Same, I guess. Even 4 had its moments where I was like "Really?", but the Wii controls were so absolutely perfect that I could forgive those moments.
I also enjoyed playing 5 with my wife, though. I bought it for real cheap years after release and I thought it was cool enough, but they just kept adding silly stuff in the lore.
I absolutely adored the Chronicles rail shooter up until the final episode's extremely stupid final boss. Like, seriously? It looked like a Pokemon.
I was a big fan, but my interest waned more and more.
But ah well, I'll hope for good news for those who still love the series.
I kinda hope they'll make a Trilogy out of the Revelations games. I'd love a third one of those, and hope it will be closer to the first one as I personally enjoyed that one more.
I kinda doubt they'll have a Switch announcement though. Capcom for the most part doesn't seem to want to release new games on Switch, aside from Monster Hunter and Mega Man.
Resident Evil 4 remake or more info about the DLC on 8. I would like a new Revelations game though.
Probably just some Resident Evil trinkets going on sale. We all know Capcom doesn't like money on Switch.
NFT or a Mobile phone gotcha game.
@Specter_of-the_OLED I think Capcom's one of the last major studios you can accuse of avoiding the Switch given that they've been supporting it from day one. The Switch has 5 RE games on it already, most of the classic Mega Man games, two console-exclusive Monster Hunter games despite the series exploding in popularity on PS4 after World's release, and plenty of other collections/remasters. Given that the teaser image looks like a classic RE collection, there's no reason to believe it wouldn't come to Switch if that's what this announcement is for.
@Octane_st1m didn’t capcom confirm that they will announce this exclusive Switch RE game after RE8 cools off? I guess revelations 3 should be announced soon anyways. RE4 remake doesn’t make sense since they just released the VR version of it.
I honestly don't think RE4 needs a remake. Maybe a new coat of paint, but the gameplay holds up just fine. Also, after the RE3 remake I'm a little skeptical of their ability to do it justice. They'll probably just remove content like they did with 3.
They will probably show a video of a high end graphical game which at the end doesn't say what systems it will be released on. As any switch owner knows that doesn't mean us, but it won't stop a stream of articles talking about the fact it might, until it eventually gets confirmed that it won't be coming to the switch.
Nothing to be overly excited about that's what it is. So many times there's been countdowns like this one and nearly everytime they end in disappointment.
@BlackenedHalo PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE The old classics would look so good on OLED portable mode.
4pm… Resident Evil 4 ReMake???
@ReaperMelia Other than Monster Hunter, they haven't really given Switch that much modern love. Most of their games are just old ports or remastered, only Mega Man 11 and the various Phoenix Wrights games had any significant on Switch. Their newer games tend to skipped Switch: Resident Evil 7 (cloud version doesn't count), Resident Evil 2 remake, Resident Evil 3 remake, Devil May Cry 4, Ultra Street Fighter IV, Monster Hunter World, Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, etc. I know most of these games are impossible to easily port to Switch but if Capcom really care about Switch that shouldn't be a problem, they will find a way to port it if they actually care.
@UglyCasanova You're definitely missing out. Resident Evil 7, 8 and the remakes of 2 and 3 are the best things to happen to the series since the 90's.
Please don't troll us again like the 25th anniversary 'announcements' that turned out to be pretty much nothing but a few fortnite skins 🙈
Hopefully it isn't something to do with re verse just let that die & give us the dlc free instead
they've come out with so many original re games on the e shop i'm pretty surprised they possibly are releasing a switch exclusive RE
It's Dead Aim Remastered.
I wish it were that rumored Resident Evil Outrage that was meant to be a Switch exclusive. But that would be asking to much...
So, as an east coaster, does that mean they'll be announcing this stuff while I'm asleep, tonight?
@ShadowofTwilight22 Doesn't need the remake, it's solid as-is.
I think the history is already here today for RE.
Nothing Nintendo related, I’ll bet.
@Fairburne yes....what a bummer
Prob just some RE8 fun content for Halloween
@ShadowofTwilight22 lol
...That's it?
WHERE'S SMASH!?
Capcom should bear in mind that trolling their fanbase like this can backfire on a company, when they actually want to build hype for an announcement. Tease an announcement for a game, merchandise, movie and that's just fine. A website update should just be announced, if at all. What a letdown.
LOL
I feel like quoting Bender.
You know the one if you know the show.
They never fail to disappoint.
Capcom haven't got anything fresh for a long time, it's either Resident Evil, Devil may Cry or Monster Hunter. Give us something new and refreshing.
Does the next update coincide with the Curious Capcom Countdown?
@Yosher "I'll make my own Resident Evil website with booze and hookers" 😆
@JustMonika Lmao not what I had in mind but that probably works better. XD
That was lame Capcom. 😒
Way to troll your fans
This is most likely Street Fighter VI since the countdown ends at the same time Capcom’s replacement for Capcom Cup is supposed to end. I’m 99% sure it isn’t coming to Switch, but I am hoping it comes to Xbox this time.
Hmm, well that is the original cover art for the PS1 versions of RE's 1 thru 3. Perhaps a collection is on the horizon for Switch? Naaah, who am I kidding.
@Specter_of-the_OLED actually a lot of the Capcom games you mentioned can't even run on Switch. They apparently tried to get RE7 to run on Switch natively but they couldn't. The newer RE games can't run on Switch. DMC 5 can't either.
Monster Hunter World can't run on Switch (despite using MT Framework) because they are using that engine to max capabilities and the framerate dips on PS4 and Xbox One (the console versions are running at 30 fps).
But yeah, DMC 4 and Ultra Street Fighter 4 can run on Switch but idk why Capcom hasn't even bothered to port it.
@Serpo ghosts and goblins resurrection didn't count?
Its not new but its an old IP that hasn't been brought back for a while until now.
Also you forgot about Pragmata (that new IP from Capcom for PS5, XSX/S/PC
@anoyonmus Like I says if they really care about the Switch they will find a way to make it work on it like Super Street Fightet 4 which they make it work on 3DS or Street Fighter Alpha 2 which they make it work on Super NES or Street Fighter Alpha 3 which works on GBA. That pathetic excuse don't work anymore and by saying it then you too are as lazy the dev that fail to do so. Let's face reality Capcom is lazy, this news is also lame and that timer once it ran out will be nothing but crap.
Way to get people's hopes up & then disappoint them again capcom 🙃
These companies love giving deflating announcements. Lol
@ManaOwls Please, for sure!! But NOT the horrid Director's Cut
@Kage_M Didn't see those comments from Capcom but glad that its still coming. Really enjoyed 1&2, for me its the best RE games after to 4. The remakes I also enjoyed as I feel it kept the classic RE feel in a modern format.
@Octane_st1m I wonder if they posted this just to test the fan bases what do they expect first- just a simple marketing strategy to make sure what to release first since they have more things coming for sure.
If they release a classic collection, the games better all come in a physical cartridge. Resident Evil triple pack was dumb for just having one of the games as physical.
Last week just drop my joycon So far still fine
