Supported Apple devices, that is.
Update: Resident Evil 2 will head to supported Apple devices on 10 December, Capcom has today confirmed. Those device include iPhone 15 Pro models, all iPhone 16 models, and iPads and Macs with the M1 chip or later.
“Players are invited to try a portion of the gripping story with a free download before purchasing the full experience,” Capcom said in a press release. “Resident Evil 2 includes support for Universal Purchase and cross-progression, enabling players to enjoy Leon and Claire’s journey through Raccoon City across iPhone, iPad, and Mac and transfer save data between devices.”
Resident Evil 2 on supported Apple devices follows the release of Resident Evil 7 earlier this year.
Original story [11 June 2024]: Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 2 are the latest Capcom games to head to (supported) Apple devices, the publisher today declared.
Resident Evil 7 will head to iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and iPads and Macs with M1 chips or later from 2 July 2024. Pre-orders are available later today.
“The iPhone and iPad versions of Resident Evil 7 biohazard will include enhanced controls with a new Auto Fire feature,” Capcom said in a press release. “This addition provides players with an approachable option to automatically fire weapons after aiming at enemies for a set period of time. Compatible Bluetooth controllers are also supported for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, offering an experience mirroring home consoles.”
The title’s Not a Hero DLC will also be included in the package.
Resident Evil 2, meanwhile, is “currently in development” for supported devices, so there’s no word on when we can actually expect it.
“Powered by Capcom’s RE ENGINE, both games provide console quality experiences running natively on Apple silicon across Apple devices. These beloved titles utilize Apple’s MetalFX Upscaling technology to deliver impressive visuals and remarkable performance on iPhone, iPad, and Mac,” Capcom said.
“Players will be able to try a portion of each game at launch with a free download before accessing the full experience with a single purchase. The titles also offer Universal Purchase and cross progression between iPhone, iPad, and Mac. With these features, players can enjoy survival horror on all three devices and continue their save games whether at home or on the go.”
