If you have an Apple Silicon-based Mac, you’re going to like what’s released this Friday.
“Resident Evil Village,” the groundbreaking survival horror game, is en route to Apple Silicon Macs on Friday, October 28th.
Developed and published by Capcom in 2021, the game is the sequel to “Resident Evil 7: Biohazard,” which was released in 2017.
Players control Ethan Winters, a man who searches for his kidnapped daughter in a village filled with mutant creatures. Players scavenge the land for items and resources, and the new game adds action gameplay with a more significant focus on combat.
The game is compatible with any Apple Silicon Mac, including the MacBook Pro 2020 or later, MacBook Air 2020 or later, the 2021 iMac, the 2020 Mac mini, and the Mac Studio released in 2022.
“Resident Evil Village” supports macOS Monterey and macOS Ventura. The company’s product page says players should check the Mac App Store for price information, as the game doesn’t appear in the store yet.
Apple’s Metal 3 API ships with iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS Ventura. It helps Macs upscale games more efficiently, intelligently draw frames for smoother gameplay, and access game data faster than before.
Metal 3 also introduces the MetalFX Framework, which manages upscaling for improved resolution, and can draw extra frames to improve the frame rate. The MetalFX Framework also uses a fast resource-loading API that speeds up the pipeline from Silicon to RAM and storage. This allows the device to find and draw textures quickly, allowing games using the API to load faster.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
