Resident Evil Survival Division is a “global multiplayer experience” in a parallel universe featuring Leon, Jill and Resi 4 merchants

Biochemical Evil Survival Departmentthe upcoming smartphone strategy game spinoff, has been properly revealed – now we know it's set in a parallel universe, where you can form a lineup of characters from the series' biggest stars (and Barry Burton) to greet zombies and monsters.

Developer Aniplex described it as “the world's first all-residential crisis for mobile”, and in a new showcase video, Resident Evil Survival will be launched later this year for iPhone and Android devices.

The gameplay will see you build a familiar mansion as your base where the characters will live and interact. You will then enter the survival mission for the familiar Resident Evil with Aniplex's promise of a “global multiplayer experience”.

You can watch the full display video below.

For the moment, it seems that the game's real-time defensive battle will be single player, but Aniplex says you can also “connect and compete in real-time globally” with other fans.

The survival department story begins with the shaky effect of your player character and then recruits a team of Resident Evil stars to fight back. Over time, you will upgrade these characters by purchasing items from Resident Evil Merchant to gradually take on the stricter threat.

Recurring evil characters including Leon S Kennedy, Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield and Fan-Favurite Resi 1 character Barry Burton, including some deeper cuts.

Her daughter plays the role of the starring Resident Evil Requiemit's interesting to see the return of Alyssa Ashcroft that broke out in Resident Evil. Becca Woolett returns from Resident Evil: Resistance, and Marvin Branagh, the fallen hero of Resident Evil 2, is included.

Just don't expect any new stories to be reflected in Requiem when next year arrives. For all survival departments relying on the main Resident Evil series, this announcement clearly shows that this will be an unconventional entry for the series – meaning There are no clues about the mysterious status quo of Leon.
