Look, let's be honest: just when you thought the mobile strategy scene had exhausted its crossovers, Joycity dropped the news on the 25th that 'BIOHAZARD Survival Unit', developed in partnership with Aniplex, is joining forces with Capcom's legendary Monster Hunter.

Kicking off on July 2nd, this mash-up is essentially a collision of Capcom’s heavyweights. We are looking at the grim, claustrophobic world of BIOHAZARD being invaded by the high-stakes, colossal beast-hunting mechanics that define Monster Hunter. Joycity is clearly betting that this will entice not just their current player base, but also the die-hard fans of the original series looking for something a bit different.

For the uninitiated, Monster Hunter is the titan of the hunting action genre. Since its debut back in 2004, it has successfully carved out a niche with its 'giant monster hunting' loop, building a global following that remains fiercely loyal to the series today.

Joycity plans to re-imagine the most iconic beasts and characters from Monster Hunter to fit the distinct, gritty atmosphere of BIOHAZARD Survival Unit. Expect a smattering of limited-time content, where you and your mates can either cooperate or sabotage one another while tackling these new, oversized threats.

Park Jun-seung, Head of Strategic Business at Joycity, remarked, "By bringing together these two globally adored IPs, we aim to deliver a polished experience that amplifies the unique charm and tactical depth inherent to both franchises."

If you are keen on the specifics, keep a close watch on their official social media channels, where more details regarding the collaboration are set to drop soon.
