The Apple adaptation maintains the visual quality of the console and PC versions, utilizing the RE Engine, the same graphics technology used in recent titles in the franchise. Additionally, it features support for Bluetooth controllers and a touch-optimized interface, making the experience more accessible for users with smaller screens.
Horror classic now in the palm of your hand
The game follows Jill Valentine, a former member of the STARS team, as she struggles 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 is a one-time purchase, meaning that once you purchase 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 having to purchase the game again.
Other titles in the franchise are also on sale
Along with the launch, Capcom has put other games in the saga on sale on the App Store. Highlights include Evil Village, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, 4 Remake, and 2 Remake, all available at 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 play titles previously exclusive to consoles and PCs.
Resident Evil expands its presence on mobile
In recent years, Capcom has invested in adapting its flagship games for mobile platforms, making the experience more accessible to a wider audience. With the game's inclusion in the App Store, users can now explore some of the franchise's greatest hits without needing a high-end console or computer.
The special discount on the game's purchase is valid until April 16th. After that, it will return to its standard price. For those looking to relive the terror of Raccoon City in the palm of their hands, this may be the best opportunity to secure the game at a reduced price.
Can Resident Evil 9 follow the trend?
Although Capcom hasn't officially revealed Resident Evil 9 yet, rumors and speculation surround the next major title in the franchise. Fans believe the game will follow in the footsteps of Resident Evil Village, introducing a new setting and further deepening the horror and action.
Some leaks suggest that development is already at 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 has rekindled interest in the series, increasing anticipation for any news about the highly anticipated RE9.
