If you’ve ever stared down a horde of ravenous, flesh-eating zombies and thought, “You know what this apocalypse needs? A giant, fire-breathing wyvern,” then Aniplex and Capcom have answered your incredibly specific prayers.
Aniplex Inc. has officially launched a massive, limited-time collaboration event between Resident Evil Survival Unit—the mobile strategy game co-developed with JOYCITY—and Capcom’s legendary Monster Hunter franchise. The global event kicks off today, July 2, 2026, and runs through July 29. It’s time to trade your green herbs for a Great Sword.
Because Zombies Weren’t Dangerous Enough
Since its debut in 2004, the Monster Hunter series has been teaching players the value of teamwork, giant weapons, and fashioning armor out of a monster’s literal teeth. Now, those apex predators are invading the post-apocalyptic wasteland of Resident Evil Survival Unit.
This crossover injects a heavy dose of tactical, high-stakes hunting into the core strategy gameplay. This forces players to adapt to new competitive and cooperative threats. If you think managing tactical mind games against the undead is tough, try doing it when the sky starts spitting fire.
The Target List
During the event, players will face off against some of the most iconic scale-babies in Capcom history through specialized missions:
-Rathalos, the King of the Skies: The poster boy of the franchise is here to ensure your troops get absolutely roasted.
-Yian Kut-Ku: Take on mission-based battles featuring everyone’s favorite goofy, flame-snorting bird wyvern.
-Silver Rathalos: Engage in high-intensity, strategic endgame exchanges to repel this notoriously aggressive Rare Species.
The event also breaks up the usual base-building routine with special Monster Hunter-themed minigames, giving you a break from the grind while keeping the hunt alive.
The Loot: Free Hunters and Shiny Skins
Naturally, you aren’t risking your life against giant monsters for free. Aniplex is dangling some top-tier shiny carrot rewards for players who participate in the limited-time events.
-
Two Free Collaboration Hunters: You can unlock two exclusive, Monster Hunter-inspired characters completely for free just by playing.
-
Exclusive Customization Items: Flex on your server with limited-edition Base Skins and March Skins to give your entire operation a distinct tactical upgrade.
