The return of survival horror, now in a tactical format

The global mobile gaming community has officially welcomed Resident Evil: Survival Unit — a brand-new survival strategy title built on Capcom’s iconic survival horror franchise.

With this launch, Capcom continues to expand the Resident Evil universe into the mobile space, giving players the chance to reunite with familiar faces and terrifying monsters right from their devices.

Unique tactical gameplay

Unlike the traditional third-person survival shooter experience fans are used to, Survival Unit shifts the focus toward deeper strategy. Players build and manage a deck of units, main characters (heroes), and action/defensive cards to survive intense real-time battles.

Key gameplay highlights:

  • Unit building: Players can summon iconic characters like Leon S. Kennedy, Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, along with various weapons and gear to take on zombies and B.O.W. creatures.
  • Card system: Each card comes with its own energy cost. Using cards effectively — whether for offense, defense, or support — creates key advantages during battles.
  • PvP and PvE modes: In addition to story mode, the game features competitive 1v1 and 2v2 PvP matches that require sharp decision-making and real-time tactical adjustments.
