Capcom's Resident Evil 2 remake is hitting the Apple Store on December 10 for iPhone 16, iPhone 15 Pro, and every iPad and Mac with the M1 chip or later.
The 2019 game joins Resident Evil 4 remake, Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil Village as the latest in the zombie horror gaming series to be ported over for Apple systems, and will offer advanced controls for touchscreens and the Mac version.
As the first in a slate of Resident Evil remakes, Resident Evil 2 remake was a gargantuan hit, having sold almost 14 million copies in total to become the best-selling Resident Evil game of all time. Capcom quickly took note of this, following up with Resident Evil 3 remake in 2020 and Resident Evil 4 in 2023. Actually, pound for pound all Resident Evil movies included, the series is the highest-grossing horror franchise of all time.
Apple's Resident Evil 2 also comes with a new Auto Fire feature, giving both player characters Leon and Claire the ability to automatically fire weapons after aiming at enemies for a short time.
Players will also be able to test out the game for free with a demo download, and will be able to transfer save data between devices.
If you've not played the legendary horror survival game, originally released in 1998, you control the rookie police officer Leon S. Kennedy and the college student Claire Redfield as they attempt to escape Raccoon City during a zombie outbreak.
Resident Evil 2 on iPhone should tide over fans until Capcom reveal more on the upcoming Resident Evil 9 and/or the next planned remakes they have up their sleeve.
