Cloud gaming technology firm Ubitus has announced a partnership with Capcom that will integrate several Resident Evil titles into Nintendo Switch with cloud support. In the announcement, the company stated that the project is set to launch by the end of 2022.

The games in question are Resident Evil 2 Cloud, Resident Evil 3 Cloud, Resident Evil 7 Cloud, and Winters’ Expansion, which is a DLC for Resident Evil Village Cloud. Ubitus promotes its patented technologies as a “Quick way of converting games on PC or console to the cloud with little modification to features and gameplay.”

This should come as good news to Nintendo Switch owners, as recent titles from the Resident Evil franchise (original or remake) have received a very high level of praise from critics and gamers alike. The latest entry in the series, Resident Evil Village, has received 95% positive reviews from over 56,000 users on Steam.

Ubitus assured fans and stated that they can expect the same convenience as the PC or console versions of the game, so it’s safe to assume that the cloud version should bear no striking difference. Tokyo, Japan-based company was founded in 2013 and had been working on bringing cloud game solutions to big names in gaming ever since.
