Recently, new information regarding
Resident Evil 5 surfaced over at Games Radar, revealing all kinds of (yet to be confirmed) informative bits that are sure to make
RE fans' heart go a flutter. Sadly, the news post has since been removed (Capcom damage control?), but not before the crew over at
Eurogamer copied all the goods.
According to the leak which we're currently filing under the rumor category, the biggest
RE5 feature reveal is that the game will include online enabled campaign co-op all the way through, where a second player will play as a female mercenary who'll be present the entire game. If not player controlled, the game's AI will take over. Other juicy details were mentioned including word that the mercenaries mini-game from
RE4 will be back and the addition of a new cover system. As far as a release date goes, Capcom is said to be shooting for a 2009 release that should see
RE5 on store shelves between January and March of next year. You can check out the other rumor'ish and spoiler'ish nuggets of
RE5 campaign info after the jump.
