Resident Evil Enters Mobile Sphere with Resident Evil Survival Unit

CAPCOM's renowned Resident Evil is making its way over to mobile, giving players the opportunity to experience it on the go. In collaboration with South Korean–based JOYCITY Corporation, known for their mobile games like the Gunship Battle franchise, CAPCOM is looking to bring Resident Evil Survival Unit to life.

This strategy mobile title takes place in an alternate universe, diverging from the main storyline; it brings real-time decision-making alongside strategy to keep the gameplay alive and active for players. Awakening in a hospital, players take control of an Umbrella Corporation test subject, getting to meet iconic characters from the franchise.

Explore detailed interiors as you set up a large mansion as your home base. This will be the abode of iconic Resident Evil characters taking shelter from the threats that await them, with returning ones like the Weapons Merchant from the original series and even playable ones like fan-favourite protagonists.

Build a team comprised of Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, and more, as they bring unique skills and traits to the table. Making a good combination will be imperative as you embark on your journey, fighting against the threats and finding gargantuan bosses created by the Umbrella Corporation.

Here's the lowdown for everything you need to know about Resident Evil Survival Unit:

• Experience a brand-new narrative set in a parallel universe from the mainline Resident Evil world.
• Take control of an Umbrella Corporation test subject as you escape a hospital and hole up in a mansion.
• Interact with iconic characters from the franchise and build a team from fan-favourites across the series.
• Online functionality to connect and complete in real time with players across the globe.
