Capcom reportedly bringing Resident Evil Village to Apple Mac
The times have never been better for Resident Evil fans. Capcom announced a RE 4 Remake at State of Play. The enhanced edition of the Resident Evil 3 Remake (2020) nears release. And Resident Evil Village (2021) is coming to the PlayStation VR 2. But who could’ve predicted, amidst the flurry of gaming news and rumors, that the latest RE news would appear at an Apple conference?

Resident Evil Village, alongside No Man’s Sky, comes out later this year on the Mac. In the meantime, incoming fans can start off their RE journey with the acclaimed Resident Evil 2 Remake, available across many platforms.
