Resident Evil: Survival Unit will be released for Android and iOS platforms
Aniplex of America, in collaboration with Capcom and JoyCity Corporation, officially announced the development of the latest mobile game titled Resident Evil: Survival Unit at Anime Expo 2025 held in Los Angeles.
Different from the main Resident Evil series which emphasizes survival horror action with a story focused on single-player experience, Resident Evil: Survival Unit comes with a new approach as a real-time strategy (RTS) game. In this game, players will be tasked with managing resources and combat units to face attacks from zombies and bio-organic creatures.
Shinji Hashimoto, Senior Vice President of Aniplex ForwardWorks Room, stated that although it brings a different vibe, this game still retains the core of the Resident Evil franchise. At the same time, it offers fresh gameplay specifically designed for mobile platforms. Resident Evil: Survival Unit is scheduled to launch on Android and iOS devices.
This game development project is a collaboration between Capcom as the intellectual property (IP) owner, Aniplex as the publisher and entertainment content developer, and JoyCity Corporation, a South Korean studio experienced in mobile and online game development.
Resident Evil: Survival Unit is planned for a global release, covering regions including Japan, South Korea, North America, Europe, and Asia. Although the official launch date has not been announced, detailed information about gameplay and main features will be introduced in a special event scheduled for July 10, 2025, at 3:00 PM PT via the official YouTube channel Residentevil-SurvivalUnit.
