Co-developed by Aniplex and JOYCITY, Resident Evil: Survival Unit marks a departure from the series’ traditional survival horror format. The game will be available across North America, Europe, Japan, Korea, and other Asian regions through the App Store and Google Play.
Set in a parallel universe, the mobile title offers an original storyline that builds upon the established Resident Evil world. Players will experience real-time strategy gameplay combined with survival elements, creating what developers describe as a “deep, immersive strategy experience.”
The game represents a significant shift for the franchise, moving away from its signature horror gameplay to embrace mobile-first strategy mechanics while maintaining the Resident Evil universe’s core elements.
