Resident Evil 2 Remake Is Coming To iOS And Mac
In 2019, Capcom released the remake of Resident Evil 2, which took the classic PS1-era survival-horror title to new heights. Now, five years later, iPhone, iPad, and Mac users will finally get their chance to play Resident Evil 2 on their chosen devices.
Resident Evil 2’s remake was largely faithful to the story of the original title, while modernizing other aspects of the gameplay including the over-the-shoulder third-person perspective of the player’s character. There are two intersecting narratives following Claire Redfield–the sister of RE 1 hero Chris Redfield–and a rookie cop named Leon S. Kennedy as they try to survive a zombie outbreak in Raccoon City. One of the primary innovations of the remake was Mr. X, a nearly invulnerable genetic monster who relentlessly pursues the player’s character throughout the game.
This isn’t the first RE title to make it on to Apple’s devices. Resident Evil: Village, Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, and the Resident Evil 4 remake have also been ported over. In fact, RE4’s remake and Village are both more recent titles than RE2’s remake.
