Special Edition DVD cover
The Resident Evil: Apocalypse DVD was released on December 28, 2004, in North America and March 16, 2005, in Australia and New Zealand.
The UK region 2 DVD was released in February 2005. The release, whilst only having one disc, was almost exactly the identical to the North American release. The region 2 version features descriptive commentary for the blind. The cover also features Alice, like on the R1 DVD cover, but it in a grey-blue and black, with Alice in a graveyard with Raccoon City in ruins in the background.
Play.com lists a 2-disc special edition of Resident Evil: Apocalypse that features new packaging art. The DVD was released in early September, probably to coincide with the release of Resident Evil: Extinction.

Film Trailers
The film's DVD release in Germany has an exclusive "Extended Edition", that reinstates most of the Deleted Scenes from the DVD and also, but not limited to.
An extended scene before Jill, Peyton and Terri enter the church, Terri whispers to Jill "What's going on? They were shooting on people. Innocent people, why didn't you do something? You are the police, aren't you?" Jill ignores her; the scene continues as normal, but audio is a bit different in places.
A shot that was in the trailer where the camera spins around a gargoyle on top of the church, and a flash of lightning reveals a Licker, thrashing its tongue around.
A shot of Alice pulling a shard of glass out of her leg after Jill demands "Who the fuck are you?" and limping away.
After L.J. runs over the undead, he sees two topless strippers, and crashes his car after loosing concentration. In the Extended Version, L.J. says something along the lines of "You're still looking good, baby. I'll still spend 5 dollars on you!" before crashing. This scene was in the novelization by Keith R.A. DeCandido.
After L.J. drops his guns before the Nemesis, he shouts abuse at him and dances whilst clicking his fingers and singing. Some of these shots are in the outtakes reel.
Finally, an exchange between Jill and Alice when they are walking past the phone boxes, where Alice asks "What are you staring at?" Jill responds "I'm not sure, what made you want to work for Umbrella?" from a wide angle, Alice says "A girl's gotta make a living." Jill laughs. This scene is featured in the deleted scenes for the U.S. version of the DVD.
VCD[]
Apocalypse was released on Video CD in Hong Kong by Edko Films on 18 January 2005. This was a CD format which enjoyed a brief popularity in the early 1990s, but was abandoned as its lack of copy-protection made the format easily exploitable. Consequently, the VCD by the 2000s was only popular in Asian countries for its lower costs.
