Internet Connection Now Mandatory for Capcom's Resident Evil Mobile Games

A significant update has been implemented for the Resident Evil series on mobile devices, specifically those from Apple. The games, which primarily offer single-player experiences, now necessitate a constant internet connection to function. This applies to Resident Evil Village, Resident Evil 7 Biohazard, and Resident Evil 4 on iOS. Previously, these games could be played offline. Capcom has addressed the change, stating it is a result of modifications to the game's initialization process, which now demands an internet connection upon launch. Despite announcing an impending patch via social media, the company has not divulged detailed information regarding this decision. Fans have expressed dissatisfaction, with some advising against downloading the latest update and exploring refund options where possible. Capcom has yet to publicly comment on the matter or respond to media inquiries.
