This article is presented in partnership with JOYCITY

The popular mobile game Resident Evil Survival Unit, published by Aniplex and co-developed with JOYCITY, is about to get a lot bigger thanks to a collaboration with the fan-favorite Monster Hunter property. For a limited time only, Resident Evil Survival Unit players can battle fan-favorite monsters and earn exclusive gear from the Monster Hunter franchise. We’ve got a sneak at what players can expect when this collaboration launches in Resident Evil Survival Unit on July 2 for iOS and Android devices.

Through the familiar gameplay mechanics of Resident Evil Survival Unit, players can team up and test their mettle by trying to take down some of the hulking creatures from Monster Hunter. Among the formidable bestiary making the limited time jump from the Monster Hunter universe are the Yian Kut-Ku and Rathalos, each ready to give even veteran Resident Evil Survival Unit players a daunting challenge. Rather than facing the usual hordes of the infected, players must choose and deploy their teams wisely to defeat these creatures in the defensive-oriented gameplay that Resident Evil Survival Unit is known for.

Exclusive to the collaboration are Heroes inspired by the Monster Hunter universe, who can be obtained for free during the event duration from July 2 to July 29. During this collaboration period, Resident Evil Survival Unit players can look forward to in-game events and special rewards that are must-haves for every Monster Hunter fan playing the mobile game. This includes in-game cosmetics that players can use to customize the appearance of their base and squads on the field inspired directly by Monster Hunter.

Among the events and activities included as part of the Resident Evil Survival Unit collaboration with Monster Hunter, is the limited time ability to hunt monsters through the mobile title’s usual gameplay to harvest and cook them. This echoes the prominent cooking mechanics in the Monster Hunter universe, with Resident Evil Survival Unit offering its own bonuses for hunting and cooking. After all, Rathalos can be packed with a surprising amount of nutrients to benefit any squad.

Since its launch in November 2025, Resident Evil Survival Unit has garnered millions of players worldwide to take their survival horror thrills on the go. The game takes place in locations in and around a ruined city as the region is swarmed by legions of the ravenous infected and other terrifying creatures. Players build up a base of operations and recruit survivors to help defend their base as well as embark on missions in the surrounding area, with several familiar faces from the iconic Capcom franchise joining the fray, each with their own special traits and abilities. Combat unfolds in tactical real-time strategy as squads battle enemies and gather resources and experience to upgrade their bases.

If you haven’t downloaded Resident Evil Survival Unit yet or are looking for the perfect opportunity to return to the mobile game, the Monster Hunter collaboration is a fantastic jumping-on point. The limited time collaboration takes the mobile game to epic new heights and offers plenty of in-game rewards across its entire duration. And, as with all things Resident Evil Survival Unit, while the experience is completely good to go solo, it’s even better when you team up and coordinate with friends and their bases and squads to take on overwhelming threats together.

And with plenty of rewards that are only available during this limited time event, fans should dive in and ready their bases and squads to get the most out of the collaboration.
