The wait is finally over for horror enthusiasts as Capcom has released the iconic Resident Evil 2 on Apple's latest devices. This acclaimed horror classic has been reimagined for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 Pro, as well as any iPad or Mac equipped with the M1 chip or later. Now, you can dive into Leon and Claire's terrifying journey right from the palm of your hand.
For those new to the series, Resident Evil 2 unfolds in Raccoon City, a place overrun by zombies following a deadly virus outbreak. You'll step into the shoes of rookie police officer Leon S. Kennedy and college student Claire Redfield as they navigate their way out of this nightmarish scenario.
Originally built on the RE ENGINE, this new version enhances the 1998 classic with superior graphics, immersive audio, and streamlined controls, bringing the eerie atmosphere of Raccoon City to life on your mobile device. The game supports Universal Purchase and cross-progression, allowing you to seamlessly continue your journey across different Apple devices.
Resident Evil 2 also introduces new features tailored for smaller screens, including an Auto Aim function designed to help newcomers. This feature automatically fires at enemies after a brief delay once you aim at them. For a more traditional experience, you can also opt to use a controller, which is often the preferred method for many players.
If you're ready to immerse yourself in this chilling horror experience, Resident Evil 2 is now available for download on the App Store. The first part of the story is free, but to continue, you'll need to make a purchase. Act fast, though—until January 8th, you can take advantage of a massive 75% discount on the full game. Don't miss this opportunity to experience Resident Evil 2 at a fraction of the cost!
