Following last week's announcement of their mobile adaptation of Capcom's acclaimed Resident Evil series, Aniplex has revealed thrilling updates. Their new strategic horror game, Resident Evil Survival Unit, is now accepting Android pre-registrations.
A Fresh Take on Survival Horror
This innovative installment blends strategic gameplay with survival horror elements, differentiating itself from traditional entries in the franchise. Developed in collaboration with Joycity Corporation, the game is scheduled for a worldwide 2025 launch across Japan, Korea, North America, Europe, and other Asian markets.
Yesterday's official YouTube premiere showcased comprehensive gameplay footage, revealing a departure from classic corridor-crawling mechanics. Players will instead experience real-time tactical decision-making within harrowing survival scenarios.
An Alternate Reality Awaits
The narrative unfolds in a parallel universe branching from the main series, introducing an original storyline. Players awaken as test subjects in Umbrella Corporation's locked hospital facility - the ominous starting point of this new nightmare.
Pre-registration Now Open
While specific launch dates remain undisclosed, prospective players can secure early access via Google Play Store pre-registration. Exclusive gameplay footage is available in the official trailer below.
The game features a sprawling mansion serving as central headquarters, where players can customize their base, manage resources, and interact with iconic characters including Leon S. Kennedy and Jill Valentine. This hub also facilitates mission planning, strategic development, and commerce with the notorious Weapons Merchant.
Adding to the game's chilling atmosphere, legendary artist Yoshitaka Amano has created a terrifying new enemy named Mortem. Amano's signature dreamlike-yet-nightmarish aesthetic perfectly complements the game's haunting universe.
While awaiting release, horror enthusiasts can explore currently available titles like Red Bull Playgrounds, featured in our latest coverage.
