This remake of the 1999 classic, originally reimagined in 2020 for consoles, lands as the fifth Resident Evil title on Apple’s platforms, joining Resident Evil 2, 4, 7 Biohazard, and Village. For gamers craving zombie thrills on the go, it’s a milestone—Jill Valentine’s desperate escape from Raccoon City now fits in your pocket, powered by the same RE Engine that fuels its console kin.

This isn’t just a port; it’s a showcase of Apple’s silicon muscle, requiring an iPhone 15 Pro or later, or an iPad/Mac with an M1 chip or above. With a free trial and a limited-time $9.99 unlock (down from $29.99), it’s a steal for those ready to face Nemesis. Here’s how Resident Evil 3 adapts to Apple’s ecosystem, why it’s stirring buzz, and what it means for mobile gaming’s horror frontier.

JILL'S RETURN: A REMAKE REBORN

Resident Evil 3 thrusts players into Raccoon City’s chaos, where S.T.A.R.S. officer Jill Valentine battles the T-Virus outbreak and the relentless Nemesis—a bioengineered nightmare from Umbrella Corporation. Capcom’s 2020 remake swaps the original’s fixed cameras for an over-the-shoulder view, blending action-packed gunplay with survival horror’s tense roots. The Independent notes its “stunning detail”—revamped visuals and a tighter narrative make it a fresh terror trip, even for 1999 veterans.
