Only in the near past, the director of Closing Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade talked about that Recreation-Key Playing cards for Change 2 have been considerably of a obligatory evil, stating that load instances from a bodily cartridge are inferior to that discovered on an SSD.

“It’s not a improvement choice for us, it’s extra of a gross sales technique choice.”
Welp. It appears we’re not going to get a definitive reply on this, with publishers providing varied causes as to why they’re opting to make use of Recreation-Key Playing cards for his or her Change 2 video games. Nakanishi’s assertion right here lends credibility to the idea that value is a significant component, with Nintendo seemingly solely providing publishers two choices: 64GB cartridges or Recreation-Key Playing cards.
It is essential to notice that this is not affirmation that Resident Evil Requiem will arrive on a Recreation-Key Card, however it’s about as shut as we’ll get. Until we hear in any other case, we’ll assume it will not be a correct bodily launch.
Nakanishi additionally touched on the choice to launch Requiem, Resident Evil 7, and Resident Evil: Village on the identical day (twenty seventh February 2026). He mentioned that the workforce began with Village when improvement for the Change 2. When that went easily, they moved over to Requiem. Ultimately, they merely mentioned “nicely, let’s go the entire hog and add in 7”.
