Capcom has officially announced a Resident Evil real-time strategy game for iPhone and Android, with development closely supervised by the company to guarantee authenticity and quality.
Titled Resident Evil Survival Unit, the mobile game is co-developed by South Korean studio Joycity Corporation, known for creating licensed RTS spinoffs like Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War.
While full details will debut next week, today's teaser artwork provides subtle hints about the game's setting through atmospheric environmental storytelling.
The foreboding scene depicts an abandoned vehicle parked near woods alongside an Umbrella Corporation billboard - its cheerful "Our Business is life itself..." slogan contrasting starkly with the sinister atmosphere.
The Umbrella Corporation's presence suggests Survival Unit's timeline predates Resident Evil 4's events. Could those shadowy woods be the Arklay Mountains near Raccoon City? The mountain silhouettes glimpsed in the background certainly support this theory.
This setting perfectly suits tactical survival gameplay, where players must strategically deploy beloved STARS operatives throughout iconic Resident Evil locations while managing scarce resources.
Developers promise Survival Unit will balance nostalgic elements with fresh gameplay to satisfy both veteran fans and newcomers to the franchise.
The announcement coincides with Resident Evil Requiem's return to Raccoon City and Umbrella-focused storyline, making this the perfect moment to revisit the franchise's classic setting.
Published globally by Sony subsidiary Aniplex, Resident Evil Survival Unit will launch across major regions, with additional details streaming July 10 during a special YouTube presentation.
