A new Resident Evil game is on the way, and this time it’s bringing a strategic twist. JoyCity Corporation is leading the development of this mobile game, called Resident Evil Survival Unit, in collaboration with Capcom. The full reveal is set for July 10 at 3 PM PT / 6 PM ET, announced during Anime Expo.
This game aims to attract both loyal fans and newcomers. JoyCity is reworking the survival-horror theme into a real-time strategy format, perfect for mobile gameplay. It’s an exciting shift for a franchise known for its intense suspense and action.
In addition to the mobile game, the Resident Evil series will also release a new mainline title next year for PC and consoles: Resident Evil Requiem. This game features a fresh protagonist, Grace Ashcroft, who is the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft from Resident Evil Outbreak. Grace will dive into a mystery linked to the series’ overarching story, starting from the original trilogy.
Her journey takes her back to Raccoon City, a place infamous for its tragic history and the missile strike intended to contain the T-virus outbreak. Here, she’ll face her past and uncover new layers of the Resident Evil saga.
According to a recent survey by Gaming Insights, 62% of players are eager for new twists to classic franchises.
