JoyCity has brought Resident Evil Survival Unit to 17 new countries across the Middle East and North Africa, complete with native Arabic language support. The mobile strategy game now lets players in these regions switch to Arabic via the settings menu. This MENA rollout follows last week's global expansion to 176 countries and regions, which included several Middle Eastern, North African, and Asian markets.
The newly supported MENA territories are Algeria, Bahrain, Chad, Comoros, Egypt, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, and the United Arab Emirates. The move is designed to widen accessibility and strengthen the game's foothold in these international markets.
Survival horror strategy on mobile
Drawing from Capcom's Resident Evil universe, Resident Evil Survival Unit blends survival horror with real-time strategy mechanics built for mobile. Players construct and upgrade bases, scavenge resources, and fend off monsters in a ruined parallel-world city. The design keeps things mobile-friendly while offering enough tactical layers for players who want deeper strategy gameplay.
Fan-favorite characters like Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and Jill Valentine appear in the game. Players assemble cross-franchise squads and tackle missions that mix strategy with action, combining single-player objectives and resource management.
Localization and market reach
Full Arabic language support signals JoyCity's commitment to localization in key regions. Arabic-speaking players can now engage with the story and strategic systems without language friction. This localization effort mirrors the studio's broader push into Asia and other territories, highlighting the rising demand for mobile-first strategy titles in global markets.
