Characters and Plot
Much of the plot is still up for speculation. In a July 2007 Famitsu interview, producer Jun Takeuchi revealed the main playable character as Chris Redfield, a returning protagonist from the first game. Chris now works for BSAA and the events of Resident Evil 5 take place ten years after the occurances of the original Resident Evil. It has been hinted that the player will control Redfield’s character similarly to how the player controlled Leon Kennedy in Resident Evil 4, and the game has also been confirmed to feature new types of enemies. The extended E3 trailer revealed several sequences involving Redfield attacking hordes of fleet-footed enemies, who possessed melee weapons. It has been speculated by some fans that the enemies will behave in a manner that resembles the 'infected' from 28 Days Later. Rumor has it that Albert Wesker has made a new virus and is responsible for the new enemies. Also he will make an appearance (maybe his last) to challenge Chris Redfield yet again.

No other recurring characters from the Resident Evil series have been confirmed as making an appearance in this game as of yet.

Gameplay
It has been confirmed that the temperature of the environment will play a big part in gameplay. Without water, the player will experience hallucinations, have trouble aiming their weapon without shaking, and eventually die. If Redfield’s character moves between bright and dark areas his eyes will have to adjust, causing the player to briefly lose the ability to fully visualize their surroundings. Resident Evil 5 has also been said to have online multiplayer features.

The setting of the game's location has been announced as Haiti, though some have suggested it to be in South Africa. Judging from the official trailers of the game, and the comments of producers, it can be confirmed that it is a country with a hot climate. The developers stated they wanted a "similar feel to the movie Black Hawk Down." Takeuchi has boasted a smoother 60 frames per second (twice the frame rate for the Gamecube version of RE4) and real physics allowing more interaction with the environment.

An unidentified woman appears at the end of one of the official game trailers. Although it has not been confirmed, she is widely rumored to be Sherry Birkin.
