A long-missing Japanese-mobile installment of the Resident Evil (Biohazard) franchise, titled Biohazard: The Episodes, has been unexpectedly recovered by preservationists. The feature-phone game had been considered lost to time, but a working build was recently extracted and made playable.
While the recovered version appears largely intact, some unlocked characters and extra content remain missing, hinting that this may be the beginning of a fuller restoration effort. For fans of the series and mobile-game history alike, this find offers a rare glimpse at a hidden chapter in the franchise.
An archival developer known as Yuvi confirmed the recovery in a recent X post, sharing images and technical details about the restored build. The post indicates that most of the game is fully functional, with only a few unlockables still unavailable. This confirmation adds further legitimacy to the preservation effort and marks another win for game history enthusiasts who continue to save forgotten keitai titles from disappearing entirely.
