- Aniplex and Joycity have dropped a new cinematic trailer
- The background score has been produced by Queen Bee
- Watch familiar faces across the franchise join forces
Pre-registrations opened last month for Resident Evil Survival Unit, and the response hasn’t been surprising as we’re already past a million sign-ups. There’s always a lot of hype for Resident Evil, and if you’re a longtime fan, this spin on the wildly popular horror universe might be the rethink you didn’t know you needed.
With that, the hype train moves onto its next stop. A new cinematic trailer was just dropped by Aniplex and Joycity, which is the studio that did RE: Evil Island. You’ll see familiar faces – Leon, Claire, Jill – all gathered in finally balanced teams. And in the background of these slick 3DCG visuals is Queen Bee’s Mountain Hunt, which elevates that feeling of dread and intensity.
Okay, but what is RE Survival Unit, exactly? First off, it swaps horror for head-to-head strategy. You wake up in an Umbrella-controlled hospital, broken and disoriented. You’re tasked with managing a mansion base, upgrading it through the series’ beloved Weapons Merchant, and assembling a dream team of survivors. It’s more sim than shooter, but just as sinister.
Your squad will feature familiar faces from across Resident Evil canon – Leon, Jill, Claire, and many more. Strategy and team synergy matter as each one brings something distinct to the table. When those vile creatures come knocking, you’ll be thrown into real-time defence as opposed to blind gunfire. It’s all about positioning, ability timing, and using environmental traps wisely.

Multiplayer isn’t left out either, as global matchmaking lets you test your tactics against players anywhere in the world. And to top it off, there’s a fresh menace waiting for you. Mortem, an original creature designed by legendary artist Yoshitaka Amano, will bring its eerie, lingering presence that drips psychological fear into every encounter.
