A New Strategic Take on the Resident Evil Universe

Resident Evil: Survival Unit is a mobile strategy game, developed collaboratively by Aniplex and JOYCITY, which is set within the universally acclaimed Resident Evil video game franchise. Unlike the original survival horror style of the main series, this game provides a unique, mobile-oriented experience that offers something new and distinct.

In an alternate reality, this game offers a unique narrative connected to the Resident Evil universe but branches off from the main storyline. Expect a rich, engaging strategic adventure that combines instant choices with the pulse-pounding excitement of survival.

A Global Multiplayer Experience

Tailored for global players, Resident Evil: Survival Unit enables real-time connection and competition across the world. Featuring user-friendly mobile controls and strategic complexity, this game invites enthusiasts to delve into a fresh perspective of the Resident Evil universe—whenever and wherever they choose.

The Story Begins in a Locked Hospital

The game starts by introducing the main character who wakes up in a puzzling hospital, discovering they were a test subject for Umbrella Corporation. Players delve into the mystery and try to break free, leading the narrative to reveal a parallel universe where characters from the initial series reappear in an innovative storyline. This fresh tale delves into new events and journeys shared with these familiar figures.

Build, Prepare, Survive: Your Mansion Is Your Base

Players will create and run their personal mansion base, a grand design housing popular characters from the Resident Evil series. The interior details and decorative items reflect the distinctive atmosphere of the game, with engaging dialogues that make the characters feel real. Gameplay involves buying items from the classic Weapons Merchant, preparing for missions, and devising survival strategies. Success relies on strategic planning and careful preparation.

Assemble Your Dream Team of Original Series Characters

Beloved characters like Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and Jill Valentine make their comeback, giving gamers the opportunity to assemble mixed-series squads. Each character possesses distinct abilities and characteristics, creating numerous strategic possibilities and presenting an exciting twist for long-term enthusiasts.

Real-Time Defense Battles

With each step deeper into this game world, I find myself squaring off against formidable foes reminiscent of the Resident Evil universe. Victory hinges on my ability to tactically employ my characters’ skills and manipulate the environment during these pulse-pounding, live-action skirmishes. The stakes are high, keeping me on the edge of my seat.

Featuring Original Creature Design by Yoshitaka Amano
