Capcom Unveils New Mobile Game: Resident Evil Survival Unit
Capcom has officially revealed its latest addition to the Resident Evil franchise—a mobile game titled Resident Evil Survival Unit. This project is a collaboration among three key players in the industry: Capcom, Joycity, and Aniplex.
What to Expect from Survival Unit
Currently categorized as a real-time strategy game, Resident Evil Survival Unit is generating buzz among enthusiasts. Comprehensive details are set to be disclosed during a livestream presentation scheduled for July 10, 2025, at 3 PM PT / 6 PM ET / 11 PM BST. The game will be available to a global audience on both iOS and Android platforms, encompassing regions such as North America, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Asia.
A Noteworthy Collaboration
For many fans of the Resident Evil series, the announcement of a real-time strategy mobile game might not invoke the same excitement as an upcoming title like Resident Evil Requiem. However, the involvement of Shinji Hashimoto, co-creator of the renowned Kingdom Hearts series, adds a layer of intrigue to Survival Unit. Hashimoto proclaimed the project during the Anime Expo Lite livestream, revealing it has been a labor of love that he has nurtured for quite some time.
Innovative Gameplay Experience
Hashimoto highlighted the game’s potential to provide a refreshing perspective on the Resident Evil universe. He stated, “The title offers a fresh take on the ‘Resident Evil’ universe, introducing a strategy game system designed specifically for mobile users. While distinct from Capcom’s traditional ‘Resident Evil’ series, it delivers a unique experience that stays true to the essence of the franchise.”
As gaming trends continue to evolve, Resident Evil Survival Unit promises to blend strategic gameplay with the atmospheric horror elements that have long defined the series, catering to a mobile audience. Keep an eye out for more updates during the livestream, as fans are eager to see how this new venture unfolds.
