Resident Evil Survival Unit Announced
Capcom has announced a fresh addition to the Resident Evil series titled Resident Evil Survival Unit. Unlike the usual horror action games the franchise is famous for, this one will be a real-time strategy (RTS) game designed exclusively for iPhone and Android devices.
The game is being co-developed by Joycity Corporation—known for strategy games like Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War—and Aniplex, with Capcom closely involved to keep the game authentic to the Resident Evil universe.
Although details are still limited, the developers promise the game will appeal to both longtime fans and new players alike. Fans can expect a top-down strategy experience that will likely focus on managing resources and building your survival team in the zombie-filled world.
When will the Game Showcase Happen?
Capcom has scheduled a big reveal event for July 10, 2025, where we’ll likely see the first trailer and more info about gameplay and the release date. The excitement is building as players get ready to see how this RTS twist fits into the Resident Evil franchise.
The early artwork shared hints at a setting before the fall of the Umbrella Corporation in 2003, showing a stormy road with an ominous Umbrella sign. This suggests the game may explore the company’s darker days, which fits well with the series’ timeline and lore.
