Resident Evil 5 is a third-person action shooter developed and published by Capcom. Moving away from the dark shadows of previous titles, the game brings the horror out into the blazing sunlight of a fictional West African region. Players control Chris Redfield, a seasoned agent of the Bio-terrorism Security Assessment Alliance (B.S.A.A.), and his partner Sheva Alomar. Together, they must investigate an agent that is transforming the local populace into aggressive, mutated creatures.
The title is famous for being the first main series game designed entirely around two-player cooperative gameplay. Whether playing solo with an AI partner or with a friend online or in split-screen, players must manage their inventory in real time, trade items, and survive massive hordes of dangerous enemies while uncovering the truth behind a conspiracy tied to Albert Wesker and the remnants of the Umbrella Corporation.
