Resident Evil 7 Biohazard

Resident Evil 7's release date is only days away on PS4, Xbox One and PC, but what are the chances of a Nintendo Switch port?

Express Online has spoken to producer Masachika Kawata and director Koshi Nakanishi to find out if the Nintendo Switch games lineup is about to be given a boost.

Unforunately, however, it doesn't look good for Nintendo Switch fans with a taste for survival horror.

"I think it's a very unique piece of hardware," producer Masachika Kawata explained.

"I'm looking forward to the possibilities of the system itself, but we have no plans at the moment regarding Resident Evil on Switch."

Here's hoping that if the Nintendo Switch does take off, Resident Evil 7 will make an appearance further down the line.

Resident Evil 7 Experience

Resident Evil 7 Biohazard's release date is set for January 24 on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

Resident Evil 7 is set after the events of Resident Evil 6, taking place in modern day and revolving around a foreboding, derelict plantation mansion in rural America.

Fans can download the Resident Evil 7 Beginning Hour demo for a look at the new first-person gameplay style.

Alternatively, fans can get a real life preview of the game by visiting the Resident Evil 7 Experience in the UK.

Resident Evil 6 was more of an action game than survival horror

The live-action experience is inspired by the Resident Evil 7 storyline, as members of the public play the part of journalist interns investigating the disappearance of their crew.

And as Capcom points out: "Participants will not be alone in there as they try to solve puzzles and escape unharmed."

And for anybody planning to attend the Resident Evil Experience over the weekend, here's some top survival tips:

• It's first come first served, so be prompt
• Get stuck in and don't waste any time trying to solve those puzzles
• Remember to answer the phone, it might just save your life!
• Search everywhere for marked items you can take with you
• Remember to split up when necessary
• Communicate with your teammate
• Bring some spare underwear!
