- Resident Evil 9 May Feature Major Gameplay Changes
The adaptation for Apple devices maintains the visual quality of the console and PC versions, using the RE Engine, the same graphics technology employed in recent titles of the franchise. In addition, it features support for Bluetooth controllers and an optimized touch interface, making the experience more accessible for users of smaller screens.
Classic horror now in the palm of your hand
The game follows the story of Jill Valentine, a former member of the STARS team, as she fights to escape Raccoon City, a city devastated by a viral outbreak. During her escape, the protagonist faces not only hordes of zombies, but also the fearsome Nemesis, a biological weapon designed by the Umbrella Corporation to eliminate survivors who know the company's secrets.
The game operates on a one-time purchase system, meaning that once you buy it on any Apple device, it can be played on all compatible platforms linked to the same Apple ID. This allows you to switch between iPhone, iPad, and Mac without needing to buy the game again.
Other titles in the franchise are also on sale
Alongside the launch, Capcom has put other games from the saga on sale in the App Store. Highlights include Evil Village, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, 4 Remake, and 2 Remake, all available with significant discounts.
This strategy reinforces the company's commitment to the mobile market, allowing fans of the franchise to play major titles directly on portable devices. Furthermore, the arrival of these games in the Apple ecosystem highlights the advancement of smartphone and tablet technology, which can now run titles previously exclusive to consoles and PCs.
Resident Evil expands its presence on mobile
In recent years, Capcom has invested in adapting its main games for mobile platforms, making the experience more accessible to a wider audience. Thus, with the inclusion of the game in the App Store catalog, users can now explore some of the franchise's greatest hits without needing a next-generation console or computer.
The special discount on the game is valid until April 16th. After that date, it will return to the standard price. For those who want to relive the terror of Raccoon City in the palm of their hand, this may be the best opportunity to secure the game at a reduced price.
Could Resident Evil 9 follow the trend?
Although Capcom has not yet officially revealed Resident Evil 9, rumors and speculation surround the next big title in the franchise. Fans believe the game will follow the lines of Resident Evil Village, bringing a new setting and further deepening the terror and action.
Some leaks suggest that development is already in an advanced stage and that the company may make an announcement as early as 2025. Meanwhile, the release of Resident Evil 3 Remake for Apple devices rekindles interest in the series, increasing anticipation for any news about the highly anticipated RE9.
