While most countries in the world will be getting it right now, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao, Vietnam, Indonesia, Brunei, Myanmar and Mongolia will be getting Resident Evil: Survival Unit some time in early 2026. In the meantime, players interested in checking the game out can already pre-register through their online store of choice.

Resident Evil: Survival Unit is a strategy game based on the seminal survival horror franchise. The title has been described by the developers as blending “the accessibility of mobile gaming with the depth of real-time strategy”. It will also feature some multiplayer elements that will help “players worldwide to connect and compete” in brand new adventures that take place in the Resident Evil universe.

Pre-registrations for Resident Evil: Survival Unit were originally kicked off back in July. Since then, the companies have confirmed that it has seen more than 2 million pre-registrations across multiple regions. It also helps that pre-registering for the title will get players access to a special bonus pack full of usable items that will help with character progression in the early parts of the game.

Resident Evil: Survival Unit starts out with players waking up in a mysterious hospital, having been used as part of a shady experiment by Umbrella Corporation. As they explore the hospital, players will learn the truth about the company and try to make their escape. Generally speaking, the mobile game will feature a brand new storyline that will also include appearances and cameos from important characters throughout the Resident Evil franchise.

After escaping from the mysterious hospitals, players will then get to take part in one of the core aspects of gameplay – building up their base. A lavish mansion which serves as the player’s home base in Resident Evil: Survival Unit will also serve as the meeting place for many of the protagonists from franchise, with Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield and Leon Kennedy all having been confirmed as showing up in the game. Players can also find a merchant that will help them get stronger thanks to the weapons and other pieces of equipment that they sell.

There will also be plenty of opportunities for players to flex their strategic thinking capabilities, since they will also find themselves accosted by zombies on all fronts. Among the gameplay offered in Resident Evil: Survival Unit is the defense battle, where players have to take on powerful creatures by making use of their own special abilities. The developers have described this gameplay as being “high-stakes” real-time combat.

Resident Evil: Survival Unit was first unveiled all the way back in July. Check out the announcement trailer for more details.

Along with announcing pre-registrations, the companies have also provided an in-depth rundown on what gameplay in Resident Evil: Survival Unit will entail. Set to be a strategy game that takes place in a parallel, divergent timeline from the mainline Resident Evil franchise, Survival Unit will also involve some form of multiplayer.

The player starts out by waking up in a mysterious hospital after having been used as a test subject by Umbrella Corporation. Over the course of time, players will learn the truth about Umbrella and will try to escape. The game features a completely new storyline that will also feature appearances by beloved characters from across the Resident Evil franchise.

After escaping, players will get to set up their own base, which can be further upgraded as they get further in the game. The base – a lavish mansion – will also feature appearances by characters like Leon Kennedy, Claire Redfield and Jill Valentine. A merchant will also be available through whom players can grab new weapons and other pieces of equipment that they might need for their missions.

Over time, players will get to partake in defense battles against powerful creatures. In these battles, players will have to make use of their own special abilities, as well as those of other characters, ultimately culminating in “high-stakes” real-time combat.

For more details about Resident Evil: Survival Unit, check out the official announcement trailer from earlier this month. In the meantime, Capcom is also working on Resident Evil Requiem, which is slated for release on February 27 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.

It’s coming to iOS and Android in North America, South Korea, Asia, Europe and Japan, but a release date has yet to be announced. In the meantime, its reveal trailer premieres on July 10th at 3 PM PDT. If the official website is any indication, the story may take place while the old Umbrella still exists.

For non-mobile players, Capcom is working on the next mainline title in the franchise, Resident Evil Requiem. Out on February 27th, 2026, for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, it stars Grace Ashcroft, daughter of Alyssa from Resident Evil: Outbreak, as a new protagonist. You can learn all the latest details here, but it’s also playable at Gamescom in August.

Takanobu Mizuno (Star Wars: Visions – “The Duel”) is directing while NITRO PLUS’s Gen Urobuchi is in charge of the story composition. The project is a collaboration between PlayStation Productions, Aniplex, Crunchyroll and Sony Music (the “music and soundtrack partner”).

Crunchyroll president Rahul Purini said in a press release, “This project is a testament to the creative synergy within the Sony family, uniting the expertise of PlayStation Studios and PlayStation Productions; the creative team of Sucker Punch Productions and Aniplex; Sony Music’s iconic global artist roster; and Crunchyroll’s fan-first global marketing and distribution footprint. The Ghost of Tsushima anime will offer fans an exciting new way to experience the game in an anime style that will be bold and groundbreaking.”

PlayStation Productions head Asad Qizilbash added, “Having already proven the immense quality and versatility of our gaming properties across multiple successful film and television projects, we couldn’t be more excited to announce our first-ever anime adaptation. Ghost of Tsushima‘s rich, immersive world and its fantastical Legends mode based on Japanese mythology provide the perfect canvas for this project, and Aniplex is the perfect partner to translate Sucker Punch Productions’ hit video game into a stunning new anime series.”

It’s unknown whether the anime will focus on Jin Sakai in the story campaign, adapt the Ghost of Tsushima: Legends multiplayer story, or present an original tale. Nevertheless, it represents a continued media push for the franchise alongside the Ghost of Tsushima live-action film directed by Chad Stahelski of John Wick fame.

Of course, there’s also Ghost of Yōtei, launching this year for PS5 and occurring over 300 years after the first game. It features a new protagonist, Atsu – head here for more details.

Set in Edo Period Japan during the Waxing Moon Ritual, it sees Miyamoto Iori caught in a battle between Masters and Servants, eventually joining forces with Saber. Combat involves five Stances, each specializing in different techniques (Water stance attacks multiple enemies while Earth Stance offers strong defense).

Iori and Saber battle other Masters and Servants, including Jean Alter and Chiemon, but there are also activities in Akasaka, Kanda and Yoshiwara to partake in. Visit food stalls, upgrade your skills and even pet various cute animals. Fate Samurai/Remnant is available for PS4, PS5, PC and Nintendo Switch. Stay tuned for more details on updates and future DLC, especially with three Additional Episodes coming with the Season Pass.

We are pleased to share that Fate/Samurai Remnant, the critically acclaimed action RPG developed by Omega Force, alongside collaborators TYPE-MOON and Aniplex Inc. – has shipped over 300,000 units worldwide a week after its launch! https://t.co/oKdDIcgs3F#FateSR #KTfamily… pic.twitter.com/ZmZSYvdmdd

Developed by Omega Force, it takes place in Edo Period Japan during the fourth year of the Keian Era. The Waxing Moon Ritual begins with Masters and Servants fighting it out as protagonist Miyamoto Iori gets caught between them. Though Iori can use the Niten Ichiryu style, he also fights alongside Saber, who can use magic.

Other Servants include Archer, whose Master is Zheng Chenggong; Jean Alter as Lancer, whose Master is Chiemon; Rider, whose Master is Yui Shousetsu; and many more. Iori can switch between five Stances in combat, with Earth Stance being good for defense and Water Stance being best for attacking several foes. Saber can also unleash Water attacks and acts independently of Iori’s actions. They can also use an Affinity Technique to deplete the Shell Gauge of enemies (like Servants) so that Iori can damage them.

In addition to combat, players will explore areas like Akasaka, Kanda and Yoshiwara, developing their skills, interact with people, eating at food stalls and more. For more details on the cast, head here.

It also showcased some new gameplay, like the protagonist slicing apart enemies with the single and dual sword styles. They also face off against other Servants like Jeanne Alter and Masters (as indicated by another person with a Command Seal on their hand). Musashi Miyamoto also appears and seems to be playable.

The Standard Edition will cost 9,680 yen, with early purchases getting Musashi’s Phantasm Costume Dress. There’s also a Treasure Box Edition for 17,380 yen, which includes the game, a novel from the Fate scenario team, the original soundtrack on CD, seven Command Spell Seals, a B2-size cloth poster, and the Book of Kogyoku book cover.

The Treasure Box’s content is also available separately for 7,700 yen. Those who want more can pick up the Treasure Box + Figure DX Version for 49,380 yen, which also has a 1/7 scale figure of Musashi (whose class appears to be Berserker in this game). Stay tuned for more details on Fate/Samurai Remnant, including a potential Western release date.

The ESRB listing also offers some new gameplay details. As a swordsman in the Edo Period of Japan (one who can seemingly summon a Servant), players will fight enemies like ninjas, samurai, demons and ghosts with swords. However, you’ll also explore cities, meet other characters and complete “objectives.”

Combat is “fast-paced” with “sword-slashing effects, cries of pain, and blood splatter.” Despite being rated T for Teen, there’s a hefty amount of violence in the cutscenes, with dismemberment, gore, decapitations of “serpent creatures,” and more. Alcohol and tobacco references also abound, though the explicit language is seemingly limited to “s**t.”

Stay tuned for more details, with an announcement perhaps happening at the Summer Game Fest Showcase today at noon PDT.

Fortunately, it seems an announcement could be due in the coming months. Gematsu discovered that it was rated in Taiwan for all four platforms. Several gaming showcases like Summer Game Fest are coming next month, so it could appear there.

Fate/Samurai Remnant seems to be set in the Edo era, with the player character becoming a Master. They summon a Servant who must likely partake in the new Holy Grail War, but little else – like how the game plays – is known. At the very least, Aniplex is also working on the title, which could mean stunning anime-style cutscenes. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.

Very little is known about how it will play – will it go for the Musou-style of Dynasty Warriors or be more like Nioh? But it follows a warrior in what seems to be the Edo era as he becomes a Master and summons a Servant. Another character is shown at the tail-end of the trailer that could be another Servant.

Aniplex is also on board, providing “production cooperation,” so that would explain the sharp-looking cutscenes. Check out the official website here for more details.

Along with Fate/Samurai Remnant, Koei Tecmo also has WILD HEARTS releasing next month and Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty releasing in March. Then there’s Rise of the Ronin, launching in 2024 exclusively for PS5.
