Capcom's "Resident Evil 2" is on the way, with the zombie-based game lurching into the Mac App Store on December 31.
The Resident Evil franchise has been slowly moving onto Apple's ecosystem, with Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard having already arrived on Mac and Apple's other platforms in 2024. There is one more fright-fest on the way, in the form of Resident Evil 2.
Briefly mentioned as on the way over the summer, Resident Evil has since surfaced in the Mac App Store. It is listed as available for preorder, with an expected release date of December 31, 2024.
The remake of the classic horror game, players will be transported to Raccoon City in 1998, in the midst of a zombie infestation.
It will be offered as a free game, providing some elements to play. The full game will be available as an in-app purchase.
The game requires a Mac with an M1 or better Apple Silicon chip, running macOS 13 or later. It is also listed as being a 22.1GB download, but installing to 31GB.

The App Privacy statement for any app is a factor in all my purchasing decision processes. For this game there is an App Privacy statement already on the App Store (perhaps it's not the final version.) I much prefer when a game takes "nothing" from my computer, but the four things listed for this game are possibly within my tolerance levels.
