Resident Evil: Survival Unit arrives on November 18th.

The Aniplex and JOYCITY have confirmed the release of Resident Evil: Survival Unit for mobile devices on November 18, 2025. The new title free-to-play will be launched simultaneously in 151 countries, with more territories expected in early 2026.

This new game in the Resident Evil franchise presents a different approach than the usual survival horror. The focus is on strategy and real-time survival, rather than traditional action. Players must lead teams of survivors in a collapsing city due to a mysterious infection.

The core mechanics of Survival Unit include:

Gathering resources

Protecting the base

Researching new technologies

Deciding whether to cooperate or engage in combat with other groups of players

The game promises to attract long-time fans by including iconic characters from the saga, such as Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and Jill Valentine, who can be recruited and integrated into survivor teams.

Players who sign up before the release will receive a bonus with useful items in the game.
