Well, look what we have here! It seems like Chris Redfield, Excella Gionne, and a grown-up Sherry Birkin are gearing up to join the fight in Resident Evil: Survival Unit! If you didn't know, Resident Evil: Survival Unit is that free-to-play mobile strategy game that was revealed a while back.

Since its release, players have been digging around the game's files. Guess what? They've uncovered references to characters that haven't been officially announced yet! We're talking about some serious fan-favorite additions.

The game launched with 19 characters, a mix of new faces and familiar ones. You get some for free, others you have to work for. But the fact that Chris Redfield, Sherry, and Excella weren't initially part of the lineup had many fans wondering when (or if) they'd make an appearance.

Now, thanks to some data sleuthing, it looks like we have our answer. It seems that skins for a young, RE1-era Chris Redfield, Sherry, and Excella have been found lurking in the Android version's character database. Not only that, but there are whispers of a brand-new monster called Mortem that's been cooked up specifically for this game. That is so cool!

Capcom describes Resident Evil: Survival Unit as a "fresh, mobile-first gameplay experience" that breaks away from the series' traditional survival horror roots. If you're curious, over a million people have already downloaded it, so it seems like it's making some waves. I think I'm gonna check it out, looks fun!
