A New Resident Evil Game Has Been Announced, But There’s a Catch

by

A fresh “Resident Evil” game has been unveiled at Anime Expo this year, but fans might be taken aback by its nature. Anime Expo is a convention held in Los Angeles that offers guest panels, gaming events, competitions, and concerts. The schedule for 2025 includes appearances from Crunchyroll, MAPPA, Bandai Namco, Netflix, and others, along with the latest “Resident Evil” updates. Additionally, Konami developers will be hosting a “Silent Hill” panel to reveal their upcoming project.

Capcom’s “Resident Evil” intellectual property has generated more than 30 games since its launch in 1996, comprising main series installments, side projects, and remakes. The “Resident Evil” collection, especially “Resident Evil 4,” is considered a must-play horror game alongside titles like “The Last of Us,” “Silent Hill 2,” and “Amnesia: The Dark Descent.” Much like the “Silent Hill” series, “Resident Evil” offers an intense atmosphere that horror enthusiasts will find irresistible.

JoyCity Corporation, in partnership with Capcom, unveiled a new mobile game titled “Resident Evil Survival Unit.” This real-time strategy experience is set to launch on both iOS and Android platforms. While it may come as a surprise to many fans, this game aims to cater to both veterans and novices of the franchise. With its unique genre, “Survival Unit” could potentially stand alongside other notable “Resident Evil” games such as the “Resident Evil 2 Remake,” “Resident Evil Village,” and “Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City.” Fans can learn more about “Survival Unit” on July 10 at 3 PM PT / 6 PM ET, when a full reveal is scheduled.

I’ve got to admit, the news about Survival Unit coming out has been like a breath of fresh air after Capcom decided to pull the plug on Resident Evil Re:Verse‘s servers. Frankly, I, along with many others, were taken aback when I found out that it’s a strategy game. Truth be told, it didn’t exactly grab my attention at first. But here’s the kicker – if this game had been released on consoles instead of just mobile devices, I would’ve snapped it up in an instant.

Amidst the recent excitement for the Resident Evil series, Summer Game Fest unveiled the upcoming title, Resident Evil Requiem, set to launch in February 2026. While the trailer primarily focuses on FBI technical analyst Grace Ashcroft, whispers hint that a more recognizable character might take center stage in this installment. A trusted Resident Evil Requiem insider has confidently stated that Leon S. Kennedy will likely be the lead protagonist in this chapter, suggesting that Capcom is merely engaging the fanbase with this revelation.
