We just got through the Switch 2’s first holiday season, which means that Nintendo has slowly started to reveal what 2026 will look like for the console. And while we already know about a bunch of upcoming first-party titles — including the Pokémon spinoff Pokopia, Mario Tennis Fever, and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book — today the company revealed a number of major games coming from third-party studios. And there are plenty of familiar faces.
Other big names detailed during the Direct including Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second game in the remake trilogy, which launches on June 3rd, and some previously-known titles from Capcom: Resident Evil Requiem launches on the Switch 2 on February 27th (Biohazard and Village will be available the same day) while sci-fi shooter Pragmata is available on April 24th. You can also check out Pragmata now with a Switch 2 demo available today in the eShop. And the original Hollow Knight is getting a Switch 2 edition that will be available later today.
Other notable titles shown off today include:
And for retro gaming fans, Super Bomberman Collection, which includes some titles never released outside of Japan, is out today, while Hamster’s Arcade Archives is expanding with the release of Rave Racer on February 26th, along with a new line called Consoles Archives that debuts with Cool Boarders and Ninja Gaiden II when it kicks off today.
It’s a hefty list, and it’s a good sign that the Switch 2, much like its predecessor, will still be home to major third-party games in addition to Nintendo’s offerings, even if many of them are arriving a little late.
