Resident Evil Survival Unit: Strategic Survival Horror Mobile Game Opens Pre-Registration

Resident Evil Survival Unit, a brand-new mobile title co-developed by Aniplex, JOYCITY, and CAPCOM, is now available for pre-registration on both Android and iOS. Inspired by the legendary Resident Evil franchise, the game blends survival horror with real-time strategy, promising a unique experience tailored specifically for mobile gamers. A global release is scheduled for later in 2025.

A Fresh Take on Resident Evil – Strategy Meets Survival Horror

Rather than replicating the classic third-person horror gameplay of the mainline series, Resident Evil Survival Unit delivers a mobile-first strategy experience set in an alternate timeline. The story begins in a mysterious hospital where the main character—an Umbrella Corporation test subject—must escape and survive.

Players will:

• Build and manage an expansive mansion base
• Engage in real-time defense missions
• Battle horrifying creatures in tactical skirmishes

Familiar faces from the franchise return as playable characters, including Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and Jill Valentine, each equipped with unique abilities. You’ll also be able to purchase equipment and resources from the iconic Weapons Merchant, adding a layer of resource management and planning.

As a creative highlight, legendary artist Yoshitaka Amano has designed an original monster called Mortem, bringing a distinct artistic edge to the game’s horror elements.

First Revealed at Anime Expo 2025

The game made its debut during Anime Expo 2025, generating strong interest among fans. While Resident Evil has previously made appearances on mobile—especially on iOS with titles like Resident Evil 2 Remake, RE3, RE4, RE7, and Village—Survival Unit is poised to be the first title specifically built from the ground up for mobile strategy gameplay.
