Resident Evil Survival Unit is set to infect our phones later this month

Halloween has come and gone, but nobody seems to of told Aniplex Inc, as we finally have a solid release date for Resident Evil Survival Unit. Instead of the perfect horror month window, it will instead be launching on November 18th, bringing the iconic horror franchise to our phones. Unless you have an iPhone, of course.

When the launch comes, Survival Unit will be available in 151 countries and regions worldwide, with additional territories following later. I had no idea there were more than 151 countries and territories in the world, so in my head, they are launching it in space, too. Space zombies, terrifying. 

In an alternate world to the Capcom canon, you take on the role of an unnamed biotechnology graduate who came to Raccoon City to find your missing parents. Instead, you got kidnapped and experimented on by the Umbrella Corporation, before escaping and finding refuge in your new base, named The Mansion. Because every Resident Evil game is contractually obligated to contain at least one mansion

It is here where you will plan your adventures, but luckily, you aren’t alone. The Mansion will also house all manner of popular Resident Evil characters, including Leon Kennedy, Claire Redfield, Leon Kennedy, Brad Vickers, Leon Kennedy, and Jill Valentine. I really like Leon. You will be able to interact with your favourites through interactive dialogue, become friends, and perhaps borrow Leon's famous bomber jacket.

Of course, the world you are in is also shared with those shambling menaces known as zombies, and you will need to beat them back in high-stakes defense battles. Each battlefield will be littered with environmental hazards to weaponise, and each hero has their own skill to use in order to turn the tide against your infected foes.

There is still time to join the 2 million people who have already pre-registered to make sure you don’t miss out on some advanced goodies. These include 20 5-Minute Speedups,1,000 Gems, and 10 Special Flare Guns. Make sure to check out Resident Evil Survival Unit and the App Store and Google Play to lock in your rewards.
