On Shacknews is some new information on Resident Evil 5. Citing the now-removed preview on GamesRadar, the game will feature drop-in, drop-out online cooperative play throughout the entirety of its campaign.
The preview further stated that when another player is not present, the game will couple the player with an AI controlled buddy. The game will separate the duo at points and include more open areas than its predecessors.
For the first time in the series, a cover system will be present, allowing players to “lock to a wall and fire around the corner.” There will also be a dodging mechanic similar to the one seen in God Hand.
Additionally, the game has been confirmed to feature the Mercenaries mini-game, a challenge mode first introduced in Resident Evil 3.
