Aniplex Launches Resident Evil Mobile Survival Game

The Resident Evil series is introducing a fresh mobile title called Resident Evil Survival Unit, but don’t expect another zombie shooter or haunted-house puzzle. This time, you’ll command tactical units and strategize attacks in real time.

Survival Unit breaks tradition as a real-time strategy game, transforming the franchise’s signature survival horror into uncharted territory. This marks a radical departure for a series built on tight corridors and resource scarcity since its 1996 debut.

Aniplex collaborates with JoyCity Corporation and Capcom on this mobile venture. Known for anime hits like Demon Slayer and Fate/Grand Order, Aniplex joins forces with JoyCity, the studio behind Gunship Battle: Total Warfare and Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War.

Resident Evil Survival Unit Release Date and Availability

The game is slated for a worldwide launch across North America, Europe, and Asia—including Japan and South Korea—though an exact release window remains unconfirmed.

While gameplay specifics are still under wraps, Aniplex and JoyCity will host an online showcase on July 10 at 10 PM UTC. Bookmark the event link below to stay updated.

Since 2001’s Biohazard i Survivor, Resident Evil’s mobile spin-offs have largely stuck to survival horror. This genre shift represents the franchise’s boldest reinvention yet—despite its history of evolution.

The official website is now live for those eager to learn more. With the showcase just days away, all questions about Survival Unit’s gameplay will soon be answered.
