Capcom has announced that its Resident Evil mobile spinoff will be available on November 18. Resident Evil Survival Unit will be downloadable in more than 150 countries throughout the world via iOS and Android. This title is free to play, but you know the drill. There will be plenty of stuff available to buy in the game.
We’ve been tracking this one for a while and it certainly looks intriguing. Survival Unit is a strategy game, complete with base-building mechanics and real-time battles “against powerful creatures inspired by the Resident Evil universe.”
The major hook here is that you can play as characters from across the franchise, like Leon S. Kennedy, Jill Valentine and Claire Redfield. How can these protagonists exist in the same game? It’s all thanks to some multiversal shenanigans. The title is set in a parallel universe, which also opens up the door for more unannounced characters to show up.
Resident Evil Survival Unit is being co-developed by Joycity, the company behind 3on3 FreeStyle Rebound, and Aniplex, which made Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2. Both devs are working “in close collaboration” with Capcom.
Hopefully this will tide folks over while waiting for the next mainline franchise title, Resident Evil Requiem. This is technically Resident Evil 9 and it comes out on February 26, 2026.
