Resident Evil 2 Coming to iPhone, iPad, and Mac on December 10

[MacRumors]

Capcom's Resident Evil 2 remake will launch on Apple devices on December 10, making it the fourth Resident Evil title to arrive on Apple's mobile platforms.

The game will be available as a free download with a trial version, after which players can purchase the full game. While pricing hasn't been officially announced, it's likely to cost between $19.99 and $59.99, based on other Resident Evil titles on the App Store.

A deadly virus engulfs the residents of Raccoon City in September of 1998, plunging the city into chaos as flesh eating zombies roam the streets for survivors. An unparalleled adrenaline rush, gripping storyline, and unimaginable horrors await you. Witness the return of Resident Evil 2.

Resident Evil 2 requires an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 series model to run, along with iPads and Macs equipped with M1 chips or later. The game will support cross-progression across supported Apple devices, so players can continue their progress whether playing on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Capcom says it will be a universal purchase, meaning a single purchase grants access across all compatible Apple devices.

A game for Apple devices that isn't aimed at 5 year olds??
Hallelujah!!

[EDIT] Apologies to the 5 year olds I offended.

Brilliant game, so is the remake of Resident Evil 3 that is done in a similar way.
Would recommend to play it on a device with a larger screen such as the iPad or Macbook, the bigger the better. And use a decent controller for an even better experience.

Glad this gem makes it to the Apple devices

The original PlayStation version of this game legitimately gave me nightmares when I played it as a kid. Twice! (That blasted interrogation room jump scare). Haven't seen anything about the remake but the original is a fantastic and immersive game.

Already better than PC or playstation

Between this coming out soon, and Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil Village already available on Mac/iOS, we've finally got all the best Resident Evil games playable on Apple devices.

I imagine the rest of the series will get ported eventually, which, uh... I guess that's good... 😬 (Resident Evil Biohazard has been out forever... I like to forget that it exists...)

If I can’t play as Snake being hunted by Thomas the Tank Engine on those versions then they’re objectively worse. I don’t make the rules I just think them up and write them down.

Holy smokes! That's a lot of required storage space for my iOS devices.

Edit: I love the people disagreeing with 17% of total storage on a base 128GB device being a lot of storage. 🤦‍♂️

I can't wait! All Capcom ports are amazing on iPad/Mac. Only game left is RE3 Remake.

Plus RE2 remake supports universal purchase!! Buy once. Play on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

Can someone share a complete list containing the existing games exclusively released for A17 Pro & A18 Pro?

I tried RE Villiage on my M4 iPad Pro and was disappointed by how unimpressive the visuals were. Ray tracing is meaningless if you are not running at native resolution

I've been gaming for neigh on 42 years now (since I was 2) and I am starting to get sick of all the remakes. Lazy ass video game developers. Half of the "new" games are just reskinned old games. We have the CPU and GPU power to do almost anything anymore, yet they keep making the same 20 games over and over again.

Those games are safe.

It is why when a small dev makes a popular new game mechanic you "suddenly" see a bunch of knockoffs from big devs (looking at you hero/extraction looter shooters).

Oh...I like this.

Would be nice to get some Sony and Nintendo first party games on iOS.

I could see Sony bringing some 1st party titles. I don't see Nintendo ever doing that (for as long as they sell their own hardware).

Thanks a bunch, @hovscorpion12
Managed to find almost all of the titles, but for some reason I could not find the 6th title (AC Shadows) in the App Store for iPhone.

Again, everybody forgets about RE5 which is actually my favorite from the series.

 

[macos9rules]

They should add at least a couple of games like this to Apple Arcade .

Still waiting on the KoTOR and KoTOR2 remasters (let alone the remakes).

How can these games even be playable on a touch screen?

On screen controls, though you really should use a controller for a better experience.

Still waiting for Bioshock to make its way back to iOS 🙏

The fact that it runs at all on a tablet is impressive enough, given the hardware.

Obviously turning everything up to max and running at native resolution requires an M3/M4 Pro or Max MacBook
