Resident Evil Survival Unit Launches on iOS and Android With a Strategy Pivot

The mobile spinoff reframes the series as a base-building, real-time tactics experience from Aniplex and Joycity under Capcom oversight.

Overview

  • The game is available now on the App Store and Google Play across 151 countries, with more regions planned in a staged rollout.
  • This free-to-play release features time-gated progression, in-app purchases, and a roster that includes both earnable and paid characters.
  • Set in a parallel storyline, it brings back Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, Ada Wong, and Carlos Oliveira as playable operatives.
  • Players build and upgrade a Spencer Mansion-style base and engage in real-time battles, puzzle-style missions, co-op alliances, and PvP encounters.
  • Pre-registrations surpassed two million before launch, and guest designer Yoshitaka Amano created a new creature named Mortem.
