A classic is back. Aniplex and JOYCITY have confirmed the global release of Resident Evil Survival Unit for November 17-18, 2025, launching on both iOS and Android at 6:00 p.m. PT / 9:00 p.m. ET. The game is a free-to-play mobile strategy title set in the Resident Evil universe, where players must lead squads of survivors through a crumbling city overrun by infection and chaos.
But we have to take into consideration that unlike traditional survival horror entries, Survival Unit focuses on base-building, resource management, and tactical deployment. Players recruit iconic characters such as Claire Redfield, Leon S. Kennedy, and Jill Valentine, each with unique abilities suited for combat, gathering, or tech support. Missions involve securing zones, defending outposts, and expanding influence in a hostile environment.
The game features a non-paid gacha system, allowing character recruitment through gameplay progression rather than microtransactions. Early footage shared by creators like Kendo on YouTube showcases squad-based mechanics, skill trees, and crossover events that integrate characters from multiple Resident Evil titles.
