Aniplex has announced Resident Evil Survival Unit, a new mobile strategy game created in collaboration with South Korea’s JOYCITY. The game is set to launch globally in later this year, with availability planned for Japan, Korea, North America, Europe, and other parts of Asia.
During a recent online showcase, Aniplex and JOYCITY revealed the first gameplay footage and opened pre-registration on the App Store and Google Play.
Unlike the traditional survival horror gameplay of the main Resident Evil series, Survival Unit offers a mobile-first strategy experience with real-time decision-making and survival mechanics. The story is set in a parallel universe, expanding on the Resident Evil world with an original plot.
A Global Multiplayer Strategy Game
Built for a worldwide audience, Resident Evil Survival Unit supports real-time multiplayer gameplay, letting players connect and compete from anywhere. With intuitive mobile controls and layered strategy, the game invites fans to experience a new side of the Resident Evil universe.
The story begins with the protagonist waking up in a strange hospital, used as a test subject by the Umbrella Corporation. As the player uncovers what happened, they’ll enter a parallel world where iconic characters return in new roles and situations.
Players will create and manage their own base, a stylish, mansion-like hub filled with familiar faces from the franchise. The base includes customizable interiors and interactive character events, deepening the connection to the Resident Evil world.
Players can shop for gear from the original game’s iconic Weapons Merchant, prepare for missions, and plan strategies to survive. Every decision matters, and careful planning will be essential.
A Cast of Fan-Favorite Heroes
Beloved characters like Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and Jill Valentine will return. Players can build teams across titles, with each character bringing unique abilities and strengths for diverse tactical combinations.
As the game progresses, players will face intense defensive battles against terrifying creatures inspired by the series. Victory requires smart use of character skills and the environment, ensuring fast-paced, high-stakes combat.
Resident Evil: Survival Unit offers a bold new take on the franchise, blending strategic gameplay with fan-favorite characters in a thrilling mobile experience. Pre-register now and prepare to enter a world where every decision could mean life or death.
