Capcom shares first footage of Resident Evil mobile spinoff
Capcom just shared a lengthy trailer for the upcoming Resident Evil Survival Unit . This is a mobile game, but not a remake of a pre-existing title . The original game includes a heavy emphasis on strategy and stars franchise heavy-hitters like Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield and Jill Valentine. If you're wondering how these protagonists can exist together in the same game, it's all due to the magic of the multiverse. It's set in a parallel universe "that builds upon the Resident Evil world while diverging from the original series." This also opens up the door for other unannounced characters to show up. This is a strategy game through-and-through, with base-building mechanics and real-time battles "against powerful creatures inspired by the Resident Evil universe." Each character has unique abilities and some can interact with the environment, adding another level of strategic immersion. The iconic Weapons Merchant also shows up to arm players up before duking it out. It's being developed by Joycity, the company behind 3on3 FreeStyle Rebound , and Aniplex, which made the forthcoming Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – The Hinokami Chronicles 2 . Both companies are reportedly working "in close collaboration" with Capcom. Resident Evil Survival Unit will be released later in the year , though wish lists are open right now . It's a free-to-play title with in-game purchases. The game could tide folks over while waiting for Resident Evil Requiem , which was announced last month at SGF 25 . This is the next mainline franchise title, so it's technically Resident Evil 9 . It features a new protagonist and the ability to swap between first-person and third-person gameplay perspectives. It comes out on February 27, 2026. If you buy something through a link in this article, we may earn commission.
