Resident Evil Survival Unit, the survival horror mobile strategy game based on CAPCOM’s Resident Evil series co-developed by Aniplex Inc. and JOYCITY, celebrates its 1st Anniversary with a major update including the addition of iconic franchise character Albert Wesker to the game, available now on the App Store and Google Play. 

TwitchCon San Diego 2026 attendees can brave a special Resident Evil Survival Unit activation in the CAPCOM booth from Friday, Nov. 13 to Sunday, Nov. 15. Complete TwitchCon-specific missions at the booth and earn exclusive merchandise. Booth visitors get to see a new cinematic video and can go hands-on with a special demo of Resident Evil Survival Unit.

The new Villain System available on the App Store and Google Play editions adds the Ruins, where players can interact with Master Villains like the infamous Wesker and complete quests to earn rewards. Unlock fresh looks for Heroes with the Costume System, and new Heroes, including Resident Evil 4’s versions of Leon S. Kennedy and Ada Wong. New 1st Anniversary events will offer special prizes through check-in and lucky draw events, event-exclusive skins, and an infographic recapping players’ achievements so far.

Downloaded by more than eight million people, Resident Evil Survival Unit is set in a parallel world featuring a growing roster of characters from across the Resident Evil series. Survive a chilling new narrative, assuming the role of a mysterious “Operative” who wakes up in an abandoned hospital with no memory of what just happened to them — or the city.

Resident Evil Survival Unit’s 1st Anniversary update is currently available for free on iOS and Android. For more information on Resident Evil Survival Unit, check out the game’s official website
