The Switch 2 has already got a decent library of demos, but if you were hoping to see something similar for Resident Evil Requiem, it supposedly won’t be happening.
Speaking to Australian game website Stevivor recently, Requiem’s producer Masato Kumazawa revealed there is currently “no plan” to make a demo accessible to the general public “at this stage”. The team instead wants to focus its energy on “finishing off the game”, due out early next year.
“Our development team is just doing its best to make sure that it’s creating the best quality game; to make sure that it’s a fine product.”
Although there’s seemingly no demo planned for digital stores in the lead up to release, there has already been Requiem demos at events like Gamescom. Past Resident Evil titles, such as Resident Evil 7, have also received demos to reel players in, and Capcom has even offered other game demos on the Switch 2 like one for Street Fighter 6.
So, no demo (at least for now). This game will arrive for Switch 2 and other platforms early next year on 27th February 2026. If you’re curious to see what other demos are available on the Switch 2 eShop, be sure to check out our guide.
