While PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC owners will be getting their hands on Resident Evil 7 very soon, those hoping that the horror franchise will arrive on the Nintendo Switch may be disappointed by recent comments by developers.
Accordingto Masachika Kawata (Producer) & Koshi Nakanishi (Director), Capcom has no plans to bring Resident Evil 7 to the Nintendo Switch. Â In a recent interview, Kawata revealed that “we have no plans at the moment regarding Resident Evil on Switch,” Â despite the RE7 Producer personally thinking “it’s a very unique piece of hardware.”

It could very well be a case of waiting to see how things go for Nintendo’s console, but it doesn’t sound like the highly anticipated title has a port in the works at this time.
Resident Evil 7 isn’t the first big third party AAA title to thumb its nose at Nintendo’s Switch. Â Respawn Entertainment recently said that its shooter, Titanfall 2, wouldn’t even fit on the console.
Gearbox Software’s Randy Pitchford also defused the possibility of seeing Borderlands 3 on the console. Even Bioware is looking to take a wait and see approach with brining their highly anticipated Mass Effect Andromeda to the Switch.
It’s not all doom and gloom for the Nintendo Switch and third party titles. Â There are currently over 80 games in development on the console. Â We’ve already seen some third party committment for the console with ports of Skyrim, Minecraft, Skylanders, Just Dance, and many others are slated to arrive this year and beyond.
Resident Evil 7 is due out on January 24th for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
