New Resident Evil strategy game announced – but there's a catch
A new Resident Evil game is set to be revealed in a livestream next week, but it's not what anyone expected. Between the mainline entries and a string of excellent remakes, Capcom has been on a roll lately with Resident Evil, the mistakes of Resident Evil 6 far behind them. The developer recently unveiled the ninth mainline instalment, entitled Resident Evil Requiem, at Summer Game Fest. The new sequel is slated to launch on February 27 next year and has a new protagonist in Grace Ashcroft, as it takes place 30 years after the destruction of Raccoon City. While the mainline games and remakes have been consistently strong, Capcom is continuing to experiment with the franchise in various, slightly questionable forms – and that extends to a number of mobile games you might not even be aware of. Past Resident Evil mobile games have included 2008's puzzle adventure Resident Evil: Genesis and Resident Evil: Uprising, and now Capcom is set to reveal another during a livestream on Thursday July 10, 2025 at 11pm BST in the UK. The new game, entitled Resident Evil: Survival Unit, is described as a 'survival horror strategy' game for mobile. It's being developed by Korean studio Joycity (known for the FreeStyle sports series) and Sony subsidiary Aniplex, in collaboration with Capcom. More Trending There's no screenshots or footage but the game's logo appears to emphasise some sort of scanner, which might be a crux of the gameplay.

An official synopsis reads: 'Resident Evil: Survival Unit offers a fresh take on the beloved franchise, reimagining the survival horror universe as a real-time strategy experience optimized for mobile platforms, iOS and Android. The game is designed to appeal to both longtime fans and new players, and will be released globally across Japan, South Korea, North America, Europe, and Asia.' While it doesn't exactly sound promising, Shinji Hashimoto, the co-creator of the Kingdom Hearts series, is involved in some capacity – so it might be a cut above the usual mobile fare. Beyond these titles, Capcom is believed to be working on more remakes in the Resident Evil series, with the next rumoured to be Resident Evil Zero.

Resident Evil is getting a new mobile spin-off game
Less than a month after Capcom's surprise announcement of the next Resident Evil game, another new entry has been confirmed. But before Resi fans get too wild with excitement, this one is a mobile spin-off for iOS and Android called Resident Evil Survival Unit . It's a strategy game that somehow fits into the broader universe, even if it's not clear how at this point. We don't have a lot of concrete information at the moment, with the game set to be fully revealed in a showcase scheduled July 10 at 6pm ET, but we do know that it's being co-developed by Aniplex Inc and Korean developer Joycity. The latter is currently working on another strategy game called Disney Realm Breakers , with access to various Disney IP including Toy Story and The Incredibles . Joycity is also the studio behind Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War , a free-to-play real-time strategy game that has an average rating of 4.4 from 210 thousand reviews on the Google Play Store. Strategy is clearly the studio's favored genre, then, and in its announcement message for Resident Evil Survival Unit it promises the game "expands the global fanbase of Resident Evil to mobile, allowing players to enjoy the world of the series with a new approach that is different from the existing series." It was also confirmed in a press release that the mobile game is being developed in close collaboration to "ensure authenticity and quality." Resident Evil Requiem (the official name for what is technically Resident Evil 9 ) was announced back in June at SGF 25, and centers on a new character called Grace Ashcroft. For the first time in the series' history, both first-person and third-person gameplay perspectives will be an option from launch.
