Resident Evil Survival Unit launches in MENA with Arabic support

Capcom's mobile strategy game adds full Arabic localisation across 17 MENA countries, making the survival horror experience accessible to Arabic-speaking players on iOS and Android with optimised UI and in-game text.

Resident Evil Survival Unit has officially expanded to 17 countries across the Middle East and North Africa, Aniplex Inc. announced today. The mobile strategy game, co-developed with JOYCITY Corporation, now includes full Arabic language support globally, allowing players in the region to download and play on iOS and Android devices through the App Store and Google Play.

Arabic localisation for MENA markets

The expansion includes comprehensive localisation for Arabic-speaking markets, featuring an optimised user interface and in-game text tailored specifically for Middle Eastern and North African players. Existing players can switch to Arabic through the in-game settings, whilst new players in these regions can immediately access the game in their preferred language.

This follows the trend of major mobile games expanding to MENA with proper localisation, similar to how PUBG Mobile has grown significantly in the region. The Arabic support makes Resident Evil Survival Unit more accessible to the substantial Arabic-speaking gaming community across the UAE and broader MENA region.

Resident Evil meets mobile strategy

Set in a parallel world inspired by the Resident Evil universe, the game features an original storyline with real-time strategic gameplay designed for mobile platforms. Players build bases, secure resources, and battle creatures in a collapsed city setting that maintains the franchise's signature survival horror atmosphere.

Iconic characters including Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and Jill Valentine appear throughout the game, allowing for unique team formations that bring together characters from across the franchise in combinations not seen in the original titles. The game blends single-player missions and puzzle-based survival challenges with alliance-based multiplayer elements.

Yoshitaka Amano's Mortem creature

World-renowned artist Yoshitaka Amano joins the project as guest designer, contributing the original creature 'Mortem.' This new addition to the Resident Evil mythos symbolises invisible fear and anxiety, bringing a unique sense of tension and depth to the game world through Amano's distinctive artistic vision.

The collaboration adds a haunting new layer to the franchise, with Mortem designed to represent psychological elements of survival horror that complement the game's strategic gameplay mechanics.
