Following last week's announcement of a mobile Resident Evil game, Aniplex has revealed exciting updates about Resident Evil Survival Unit. The strategy-horror hybrid is now open for Android pre-registration ahead of its 2025 global launch.
Reimagining Survival Horror
Developed in collaboration with Joycity Corporation, this innovative entry transforms the survival horror formula into real-time tactical gameplay. The worldwide release will cover Japan, Korea, North America, Europe and additional Asian markets.
Yesterday's YouTube premiere showcased never-before-seen gameplay footage, revealing a strategic twist on the classic Resident Evil experience - replacing tense corridor navigation with tactical team management.
New World, Familiar Faces
The game introduces a parallel universe storyline diverging from main series events. Players awaken as Umbrella Corporation test subjects in a quarantined hospital, establishing the harrowing opening scenario.
Now available for pre-registration via Google Play Store, Resident Evil Survival Unit offers fans their first glimpse through the recently revealed trailer below.
The experience centers around a sprawling mansion serving as operational headquarters. This multifunctional base allows players to:
- Customize living spaces and manage resources
- Interact with iconic characters including Leon, Claire and Jill
- Develop mission strategies and review intelligence
- Purchase equipment from recurring series merchant
Artistic Horror From a Legend
Adding to the game's unsettling atmosphere, renowned artist Yoshitaka Amano has created Mortem - a haunting original creature embodying his signature dreamlike nightmare aesthetic.
While awaiting the 2025 launch, horror fans might enjoy exploring other newly released titles like Red Bull Playgrounds, currently available for immediate download.
