Resident
Evil
2
is
coming
to
Apple
devices
on
December
31.
The
2019
remake
of
the
survival-horror
classic
is
now
up
for
pre-order
on
the
App
Store.
Resident
Evil
2
remake
was
confirmed
to
be
in
development
for
iPhone,
iPad
and
Mac
devices
earlier
this
year
when
Capcom
announced
a
port
for
Resident
Evil
7:
Biohazard.
The
game
will
be
the
fourth
Resident
Evil
title
to
launch
on
Apple
devices.
Resident

2
on
Apple
Devices
The
App
Store
listing
for
Resident
Evil
2
says
that
the
game
is
expected
to
launch
on
December
31.
The
remake
will
be
playable
on
iPhone
15
Pro,
iPhone
15
Pro
Max,
iPhone
16
series,
and
iPad
and
MacBook
models
running
on
M1
or
newer
chipsets.
An
early
section
of
the
game
will
be
available
to
play
for
free,
but
users
will
have
to
make
an
in-app
purchase
to
access
the
full
game.
Resident
Evil
2
will
support
Universal
Purchase,
which
means
once
purchased,
the
game
will
be
available
to
play
across
compatible
Apple
devices.
The
App
Store
listing,
however,
confirms
that
save
data
cannot
be
transferred
between
macOS
and
iOS
devices.
Resident
Evil
2
remake
will
take
up
approximately
31GB
of
storage
space.
It’s
also
worth
noting
that
the
installation
process
will
require
the
device
to
have
free
storage
at
least
twice
the
size
of
the
application.
While
the
game
can
be
played
using
touch
controls
on
iPad
and
iPhone,
Apple
recommends
using
a
controller
for
a
better
experience.
Resident
Evil
2
was
confirmed
to
be
in
development
for
Apple
devices
in
June.
Capcom
has
thus
far
released
Resident
Evil
4,
Resident
Evil:
Village
and
Resident
Evil
7:
Biohazard
on
iOS,
iPadOS
and
macOS
as
part
of
Apple’s
push
to
bring
more
triple-A
games
on
its
devices.
In
addition
to
the
games
from
the
iconic
survival-horror
series
from
Capcom,
Ubisoft’s
Assassin’s
Creed
Mirage
and
Hideo
Kojima’s
Death
Stranding
have
launched
on
iPhone,
iPad
and
Mac,
as
well.
But
these
triple-A
console
games
have
reportedly
sold
poorly
on
Apple’s
platform.
A
mobilegamer.biz
report
in
June
claimed
that
Resident
Evil
4
remake
saw
3,57,000
installs
on
iPhone,
but
only
around
7,000
people
paid
to
access
the
full
game.
In
July,
Capcom
confirmed
that
the
next
Resident
Evil
game
was
under
development
and
would
be
helmed
by
Resident
Evil
7:
Biohazard
director
Koshi
Nakanishi.
