Capcom Bringing Resident Evil Village to Apple Silicon Mac Next Week

[MacRumors]

Capcom today announced that the Mac version of survival horror game Resident Evil Village is set to launch on Friday, October 28. The game will be available on Macs that are equipped with Apple silicon chips.

Resident Evil Village first launched in 2021, but it has been limited to PCs and consoles. As with prior Resident Evil games, Resident Evil Village is a first person game that requires players to explore their surroundings in the hopes of discovering items and equipment to progress.

The game is set in a snowy Eastern European village, and there is a deeper focus on action and combat than the prior title, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Village is set approximately three years after Biohazard.

Capcom says Resident Evil Village is built on the first Mac version of the RE Engine Capcom game engine, and it is compatible with M1 and M2 Macs that are running macOS Monterey or macOS Ventura.

The Mac version of Resident Evil Village comes with the Trauma Pack DLC, raccoon weapon parts, and a Survival Resource Pack. It does not, however, include Resident Evil: RE:Birth, but Capcom says the Winters' Expansion will be coming in the near future. Winters' Expansion will introduce a new third-person mode along with new game content.

Resident Evil Village will be available from the Mac App Store when it launches on October 28.

I hope they will release it on Steam too

Only a year after the PC release. Getting faster. At least it's not the nearly 10 years later it'd often be in the past.

Thank you Capcom for paving the way!

Sounds like we’re going to be busy downloading and playing some Resident Evil village 😈

I might get this, if anything, to help support Mac version of things.

Although, I haven't played any of the resident evil games since whatever version was ported to the N64 back in the 90's.

Is this series something that you can jump into any of the games, or is it a good idea to play it in order?

Somebody's gotta make an app that automatically optimizes that inventory grid thing...
(now searching for typewriter ribbon to Save this post)

 

[Beautiful Opinion]

Wasn't this already announced?

 

[Wildkraut]

Ohh a game on macOS, yawnnnn, courage!

 

[ProfessionalFan]

Hardware is there, now the developers can start bringing along games. Hope to see more of this.

 

[Spaceboi Scaphandre]

Is the Mac version gonna be available on Steam or only the Mac App Store? If it's only the Mac App Store then it's dead on arrival lmao.

I'd say it isn't absolutely necessary to play the series in order but you'll enjoy the stories and plots more if you do.
YMMV

You need to play Resident Evil 7 before Village as Village is a direct sequel, especially since a lot of bits of Village spoil RE7's plot.

RE Village is 100% going to be the benchmark going forward. Even without the RT options, The M-series is going to play better then PC versions

Where is RTX?

Grand Theft Auto V should be on Mac silicon

There is no difference between Mac App Store or Steam. The Mac App store is installed on all Macs by default. Plus, Steam does not support Apple Silicon so even if Capcom wanted it on Steam, it would not work.

Also, the vast majority of Mac owners don't care where the game comes from. Only that we have a AAA title that support Apple Silicon.

This game is going to sell like crazy when videos start being uploaded to YouTube showing insane performance and FPS from the M1 MB Air to the M1 Ultra Mac Studio.

If the rumors of the M2 Pro/Max launching next week are true. Then it would include RT cores pushing this game even higher.

Apple silicon does not support Ray Tracing at this time. The standing rumor is the M2 Max [if not the M3 series] have RT cores.

 

[hovscorpion12]

32-Core GPU and unified memory. This game is going to blow PC's out of the water

64-Core GPU+128GB of full unified RAM.

With a fully optimized game, this will be over 100+FPS over RTX 3090 TI

unless its already purchased on steam and you don't want to pay again for it

Bro you're capping so hard. The differences between Steam and the Mac App Store is night and day

For starters, Steam has a refund policy if a game doesn't work. The Mac App Store does not.

Steam has support for key rebindings. The Mac App Store does not

Steam has achievements, friends, community hubs, sales, and it actually has games. The Mac App Store does not

I can go on. The Mac App Store is nowhere close to Steam. Steam's the juggernaut it is for a reason because it's a vastly superior service to everything else on the market, to the point Microsoft puts their games on it and not have them only on the Windows Store.

This game is going to sell like crazy when videos start being uploaded to YouTube showing insane performance and FPS from the M1 MB Air to the M1 Ultra Mac Studio.

Anyone who actually wants Village is not gonna buy it on the Mac App Store. This game is a year old and available on every other platform. They're not gonna go out of their way to buy it on a Mac when chances are they already got a Playstation or a gaming PC and got it there.

If the rumors of the M2 Pro/Max launching next week are true. Then it would include RT cores pushing this game even higher.

Raytracing...on an ARM chip...that's a new one I haven't heard before.

 

[The_Gream]

Not a fan of the horror genre. But this is still nice - as this is an in-house project and not an outside port.

We have a lot of native Mac games already, but most are not from major studios.

No Man’s Sky is still coming. And more will come.

 

[newyorksole]

I can watch horror/scary movies, but can't play games like these lol. this is good news though!
