Capcom’s 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2 will be streaming on Apple devices on December 31st. Considered by many to be one of the best games of 2019, the Resident Evil 2 remake modernized the 1998 original with a new third-person perspective and incredible visuals thanks to the RE engine. Resident Evil 2 also helped pave the way for other Capcom remakes like Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 4, as well as titles like EA’s Dead Space 2023 remake.
In recent years, Capcom has brought several of its best-selling Resident Evil games to Apple devices, with Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 4 remakes both making the jump last year. This summer, 2017’s Resident Evil 7: Biohazard followed suit but with less than impressive sales results. The Resident Evil games aren’t the only ones taking this approach, as other major triple-A publishers are also porting their games to Apple products. Sony’s 2019 hit Death Stranding and the latest Assassin’s Creed
Ubisoft’s Mirage are both available on the platform.
The classic zombie survival game Resident Evil 2 will debut on PCs on December 31st this year.
Developed by Capcom, Resident Evil 2 on Mac is a shooter that allows players to survive in a zombie-infested Raccoon City. At first, the game will be free to play and the full experience will be locked after an in-app purchase. Resident Evil 2 will be compatible on iPad and iPhone with at least an M1 or A17 chip and iOS 17, and on Mac with at least an M1 chip and macOS 13. Currently, the game is already visible in the App Store for money – order and his departure date is expected on the 31st of December.
The Resident Evil series is gradually added to the Apple ecosystem, the latest being Resident Evil 7: Biohazard and Resident Evil 4. At the moment, there is no price for the game in the App Store.
While most of Capcom’s best-selling creations and iconic Resident Evil titles are now available on Apple devices, there is also a modern remake that Capcom seems to have overlooked. The 2020 remake of Resident Evil 3, although not as beloved as Resident Evil 2 a year ago, deserves to be in the spotlight alongside the other great iPhone titles of the franchise. As many triple-A publishers seem to be making a bigger push towards mobile users, bringing their latest Resident Evil titles to Apple devices seems like a smart move for Capcom, and fans are wondering if one of their other major franchises like ‘and Dead Rising or Devil May Cry, will be placed on the iPhone in the future.
Time will tell if the Resident Evil 3 remake follows its predecessor on iPhone, iPad and Mac. As for what’s to come for Resident Evil, rumours started swirling last month about the ninth main title in the series, which would be titled Resident Evil Apocalypse. It has been reported that the play may take a more open approach and Leon Kennedy, Jill Valentine and the Redfields will take center stage. It’s been a while since Resident Evil Village, fans have been hoping
some concrete details about RE9 shortly.
