Amidst the swirling tempest of software updates and the mystical dance of artificial intelligence at the fabled Worldwide Developer Conference, Apple did not forsake the realm of video games. Nay, it unveiled a treasure trove of titles set to grace macOS like never before.
As the sun rose on a Monday, whispers spread of the arrival of more Resident Evil adventures to the land of Mac – including Resident Evil 7 Biohazard and the legendary Resident Evil 2 reborn (the latter still in the forge; the former now open for preordainment). But this was merely the surface of the deep sea of wonders. Ubisoft, known to traverse lesser lands like Stadia, brings forth its prized jewel, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, alongside Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, to Mac.
Behold! In the chronicles of forthcoming games, Frostpunk 2 and the next epoch of World of Warcraft, known as The War Within, shall also grace Mac’s shores. Rare indeed is the sight of such grand releases in Apple’s gaming lore at WWDC. Ere now, only echoes of past conquests like Resident Evil Village and Death Stranding lingered.
Soon to be unveiled are Control Ultimate Edition from the minds of Remedy Entertainment and the enchanting free-to-play RPG Wuthering Waves, their arrival time yet shrouded in mystery.
Here, as decreed by the powers that be at WWDC:
- Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
- Assassin’s Creed Shadows
- Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
- Resident Evil 2 remake
- World of Warcraft: The War Within
- Frostpunk 2
- Palworld
- Sniper Elite 4
- RoboCop: Rogue City
- Control Ultimate Edition
- Wuthering Waves
Further, Apple heralds updates to personalized spatial audio, promising a gaming odyssey of heightened immersion and reduced latency with the forthcoming AirPods Pro 2.
Yet lo, the unveiling of Game Porting Toolkit 2, a boon to game developers seeking passage to Mac, iPhone, and iPad. Fresh from the forge of 2023, this revised tome boasts features long sought, including predictive code completion and expanded APIs. Should this path be trod by Apple, a mighty torrent of games shall flow to Mac in the epochs to come.
