Resident Evil 2, the critically acclaimed remake of the classic survival horror game, will be released on December 10th for iPhone 16 models, iPhone 15 Pro models, and every iPad and Mac with the M1 chip or later.

A new way to experience the terror

The Resident Evil 2 remake, originally released in 2019, revitalized the beloved classic with stunning visuals, an over-the-shoulder camera, and a more immersive storytelling approach. It quickly earned praise for its faithful reimagining of the original while introducing modern gameplay mechanics and breathtaking graphics powered by Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine.

In this game, players step into the shoes of Leon S. Kennedy, a rookie cop, and Claire Redfield, a college student searching for her missing brother. Together, they must navigate the undead-filled streets, eerie police stations, and secret underground labs of Raccoon City, unraveling the sinister Umbrella Corporation’s biohazardous experiments.

For the first time, players can enjoy Resident Evil 2’s gripping gameplay on iPhone. Whether you’re navigating the desolate corridors of the Raccoon City Police Department or facing off against the relentless Tyrant, you’ll be doing so with console-quality visuals in the palm of your hand.

Optimized for touch and controllers

Capcom has taken care to make the experience intuitive on Apple devices. While touch controls are supported, the game will also work seamlessly with Bluetooth controllers like the DualSense or Xbox Wireless Controller. This versatility allows players to choose their preferred playstyle.

Cross-platform play (via Saves)

Thanks to iCloud save functionality, you can start your journey on an iPhone and pick up where you left off on an iPad or Mac. This cross-platform compatibility offers unparalleled flexibility for gaming on the go.

Apple’s hardware prowess

The power of the M1 chip (and beyond) ensures smooth performance and stunning visuals, rivaling that of traditional gaming consoles. Advanced lighting, detailed textures, and realistic sound design are all retained, immersing players fully in the zombie apocalypse.

When and how to play

Resident Evil 2 launches on December 10th. The game will be available through the App Store, likely as a premium purchase. While pricing hasn’t been officially confirmed, Capcom’s similar releases suggest a one-time purchase, with potential options for in-app purchases or bundles.
