Resident Evil: Survival Unit Mobile Debut Announced – November 17, 2025

Before Resident Evil 9: Requiem arrives on consoles and PC on February 27, 2026, Capcom will expand its iconic horror series into mobile gaming with the free-to-play title, Resident Evil: Survival Unit. Developed with Aniplex Inc. and Joycity Corp., the game offers a unique Resident Evil experience designed for touchscreens, blending strategy with the series’ signature survival atmosphere. Led by veteran producer Shinji Hashimoto (known for Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts), the development team has focused on tactical gameplay rather than a direct port of the traditional horror formula. After testing, Survival Unit is scheduled to launch on November 17, 2025, at 3:00 AM French time, initially on iOS and Android, with a subsequent release across Asia in early 2026. Players can preregister now on both app stores.

Resident Evil: Survival Unit – Mobile Apocalypse with Familiar Heroes

In Resident Evil: Survival Unit, players lead a group of survivors in an infected city, managing resources, constructing bases, defending against zombies, and exploring the environment. The game retains a classic Resident Evil feel, featuring a fixed camera perspective and familiar characters such as Leon, Claire, Jill, and Ada. Notably, the game will not incorporate a gacha system; however, players can pay to accelerate base construction. Details regarding the full payment model are still forthcoming. This mobile release will offer players a taste of Capcom’s horror before Resident Evil 9: Requiem debuts in 2026.
