Resident Evil 5 to Feature Co-Op, Cover System

This article is over 16 years old and may contain outdated information

Resident Evil 5 will reportedly feature co-operative play and a new cover system.

A report which appeared, and then disappeared, on GamesRadar, said the latest entry in the franchise will have drop-in cooperative online play available for the campaign mode.

Furthermore, developers will integrate a cover system not unlike Gears of War that will allow players to fire around corners, as well as a new dodge mechanic.

The game will apparently feature more open environments than its predecessors.

The title is slated for release in 2009 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, with protagonist Chris Redfield accompanied by a female mercenary.
