Resident Evil's 5 & 6 come to Switch in time for Halloween

Capcom have announced that Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 are both coming to Switch on October 29th, which adds more titles to the growing Resident Evil library on the platform.

I had the chance to play Resident Evil 5 at E3 2019, and was impressed with how it performed, but in case you are not aware about what either of the two games are about, here are the official descriptions that Capcom provided with the release date news.

Highly regarded for its co-op gameplay, Resident Evil 5 puts you in the shoes of two B.S.A.A. operatives: Resident Evil veteran Chris Redfield and newcomer Sheva Alomar. These two highly-trained agents will have their training and skills put to the test as they seek to prevent the sale of a bio-organic weapon and uncover a much larger, more sinister plot as a result. Together with your teammate, you’ll tackle a variety of locations across Africa and, thanks to the included Gold Edition content, you’ll even be able to take a trip down memory lane and experience events that unfolded before the events of RE5 as you explore a familiar mansion.

Taking place after the events of RE5, Resident Evil 6 follows various interconnected stories, bringing together fan-favorite characters like Leon S. Kennedy and newcomers such as Helena Harper. Travel the world and play each story solo or with a friend to unravel the full picture behind a sinister conspiracy that threatens the entire world. Resident Evil 6 also includes all previously released DLC, including additional content for the intense, arcade-style Mercenaries mode, and the unique Agent Hunt mode that flips the script and puts you in control of enemies in other player’s campaigns.
