Capcom has dropped a new cinematic trailer for its upcoming mobile strategy game, Resident Evil Survival Unit, which appears to confirm an array of familiar enemies you'll have to fight.Though a polished, flamboyant, and unashamedly bombastic showing of everything the Resident Evil series has come to represent to millions of fans all over the world, the cinematic trailer is precisely that — cinematic. Which means it doesn't give us a better understanding of systems underpinning the actual gameplay, unfortunately.Nonetheless, Capcom's ready for you to register your interest, so if you like what you see — and hear; there's a very jazzy theme tune from Queen Bee — head on over to the App Store. The upcoming strategy game spin-off for smartphones was given a proper reveal last month, confirming it's set in a parallel universe where you form a squad of characters from the series' biggest stars to take on zombies and monsters. Today, that roster now looks to include Mr X, Nemesis and... crocodiles.Co-developed by Aniplex and Joycity, gameplay sees you building up a familiar-looking mansion as your base, where your characters will live and interact. You'll then head out onto survival missions against familiar Resident Evil foes, with Aniplex promising a "global multiplayer experience."As for the other big Resident Evil-flavored taster we got earlier in the year? Resident Evil Requiem is coming on February 27, 2026. The next mainline entry in the Resident Evil series, it is directed by Resident Evil 7 director Koshi Nakanishi and will feature a return to the series' 30-year-old "overarching narrative."Vikki Blake is a reporter for IGN, as well as a critic, columnist, and consultant with 15+ years experience working with some of the world's biggest gaming sites and publications.
