It’s a new plot with familiar faces. You’ll meet characters like Leon, Claire, and Jill. You can build your own squad using heroes from across the series. Each has special skills for different battle styles.

Your base is a mansion

You get your own mansion. It’s your base for missions and planning. You can decorate it and talk to your team. It brings back the classic RE atmosphere.

The iconic Weapons Merchant returns too. You’ll buy gear, plan fights, and upgrade your team here.

Real-time combat and global play

The battles are fast and real-time. You’ll defend your base against monsters. You need to think quickly and use each character wisely.

The game supports real-time multiplayer. You can team up or fight other players around the world. It’s made for short, strategic play sessions.
