One of the biggest surprises from Apple’s most recent keynote was that Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 4 Remakeamong other console games, will come to the iPhone 15 Pro. Fortunately, the first mentioned title will not be kept waiting too long, as Capcom confirmed that it will be available from next October 30. That is, just to take advantage of Halloween.
The Japanese company took advantage of its presence at the Tokyo Game Show to make such an important announcement. It will be the first time that a Capcom console game heads towards the Apple ecosystem. In addition to the iPhone 15 Pro, which is the only smartphone from the brand that supports it, Resident Evil Village It can also be enjoyed on iPads with M1 and M2 chips —and consistent models, of course—.
Unfortunately, if you already own the game on consoles—PlayStation or Xbox—or PC, you won’t be able to transfer your purchase to iOS. It will be necessary to go to checkout again and pay $39.99 dollars. Obviously, it is not a price we are used to paying for a game on mobile devices; nor are we used to having this level of experiences in a device that fits in your pocket.
It is worth mentioning that Resident Evil Village for the iPhone 15 Pro includes downloadable content that arrived some time after launch. That is, the Winters’ Expansion. This allows you to play with a third-person perspective, the mode The Mercenaries and a new chapter of history: Shadows of Rose.
“16 years after the events of Resident Evil Village. Rosemary Winters, Ethan’s beloved daughter, has grown up and now battles terrifying powers. Searching for a way to free herself from her curse, Rose enters the consciousness of the Megamycete. The “Rose’s adventure takes her to mysterious realms where memories of the past return to create a twisted world full of nightmares.”

About Resident Evil 4 Remake, its debut on the iPhone 15 Pro will happen before the end of the year. Unfortunately, we still do not know the specific date.
However, we do know that Resident Evil 4 Remake will have support for universal Apple purchase. For example, if you get it on iOS, you’ll have access to the same content on iPadOS and macOS.
Once Resident Evil Village lands on the iPhone 15 Pro and compatible iPad models, it will be the first step of AAA gaming on Apple’s mobile platform. However, those from Cupertino are increasingly showing more interest in offering this type of games on their teams. Let’s remember that, in addition to the Capcom titles, there are on the way Death Stranding and Assassin’s Creed Mirage.
