Yoshitaka Amano, known for his work in the Final Fantasy series, designed an original creature named Mortem for the upcoming mobile game Resident Evil Survival Unit.
The collaboration between Amano and the game is facilitated by Shinji Hashimoto, who is the executive producer of the game produced by Aniplex in partnership with JoyCity and Capcom.
Hashimoto mentioned in an interview that Amano's involvement in designing a pure villain for the game was a surprise, and Amano gave JoyCity creative freedom to interpret his creature design.
Resident Evil Survival Unit, featuring Amano's design, is set to be released globally for Android and iOS mobile devices in 2025.
