Resident Evil Survival Unit just dropped, and developer Aniplex is going all out with the marketing. To promote the launch of its new mobile game, the studio dropped an incredible cinematic trailer that groups together franchise heroes Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine, Carlos Oliveira, and Leon S. Kennedy facing against some familiar faces as well as bizarre new ones.
The trailer was created by Quebico, the studio behind the Resident Evil: Death Island animation.
As mentioned, on top of the Avengers-like team-up from some of the franchise’s most recognizable faces, you also get to see the likes of Nemesis, Mr. X, William Birkin, and a massive demonic figure with wings and tentacles all over its face. It’s quite the sight, but perhaps my favorite moment in the entire trailer is Jill Valentine using a massive railgun to take down a comically large crocodile.
What Is Resident Evil Survival Unit Anyway?
RE Survival Unit is a mobile game set to release for Android, and iOS. It’s developed by JOYCON and published by Aniplex, so Capcom has barely anything to do with this project, other than perhaps licensing the characters themselves.
The game itself is an RTS with base-building mechanics. You set shop in an abandoned mansion and will have to build a dream team of Resident Evil characters to defend against various threats in real-time combat that promises engaging gameplay. You’ll be able to upgrade your characters via the merchant, which also makes his appearance in Survival Unit.
It looks like a nice distraction as fans wait for the upcoming Resident Evil 9 Requiem, which promises to break some of the series’ conventions as Capcom moves forward, leaving behind decades of stories to give players a clean slate. At least according to reports.
If you’re interested in trying Resident Evil Survival Unit, you can pre-register to be ready when it finally drops later this year.
