A few days ago it was announced that the Resident Evil saga would make the jump to smartphones, and that announcement has now materialized in Resident Evil Survival Unit, a strategy game that, while not the remake many were expecting, has captured the community’s attention. Now, Capcom has shared the official information about this promising title.
A strategic experience in a parallel universe
Resident Evil Survival Unit, developed by Joycity and Aniplex under Capcom’s supervision, is set in an alternate timeline with a completely original storyline. The game is scheduled for release at the end of this year and will offer real-time combat where every player decision will influence the course of the mission.

Leon, Claire and Jill at the forefront of the action
The three confirmed protagonists are franchise favorites: Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and Jill Valentine. They will be joined by other classic characters who will appear throughout the campaign to form squads and face biological threats. Additionally, like any good mobile title, it will include a base-building system where players can manage resources and strengthen defenses.

Where to watch the trailer and what to expect next
If you’re already interested in checking it out, Capcom and the official Resident Evil accounts have released a trailer with the first look at the game. Beyond Survival Unit, fan attention is focused on Resident Evil Requiem, which will serve as the grand finale to 30 years of history. Mark your calendar for February 27, 2026, the date when Requiem will arrive on PS5, PC, and Xbox Series.
