Resident Evil Shifts Gears: Survival Unit Brings Strategy to Mobile

Prepare for a new kind of zombie apocalypse! Aniplex and JOYCITY are teaming up with Capcom to deliver Resident Evil Survival Unit, a fresh mobile strategy game set in the iconic horror universe. This isn’t your typical run-and-gun Resident Evil experience; instead, developers have reimagined the franchise for real-time strategy on the go.

With the hotly anticipated Resident Evil Requiem winning hearts immediately with its horror, Capcom doesn’t just rest on its laurels. As you wait for the latest in the franchise, our critic had this to say, “Resident Evil Requiem mixes elements from the entire history of Resident Evil, from the classic puzzle solving, to ever-present danger from Mr. X or Nemesis in RE2 and 3, to the emphasis on pure fright of the most modern entries in the series. If you have the fortitude to handle the horror, this could be the next instant classic in the Resident Evil series.”

Aniplex, a Tokyo-based entertainment company, and JOYCITY Corporation, a leading South Korean game developer, are co-developing the title. All of which makes Resident Evil Survival Unit a global production. Still, the developers have shared that they are working closely with Capcom to ensure authenticity and a high-quality experience.

Aniplex and JOYCITY offer a new perspective on the Capcom classic

Resident Evil Survival Unit aims to draw in both long-time fans and newcomers alike by offering a unique take on the beloved series. Expect to strategize your way through the horrors of the Resident Evil world, explicitly optimized for mobile gameplay.
