Who knew that you'd get some news from the Microsoft keynote happening right now? The upcoming multiplatform
Resident Evil 5 is
confirmed to have online co-op, with players taking control of both Chris and the newly-introduced
Sheva. Unfortunately, the game won't be readied until next year. Appropriately, the plan is to release the title on Friday the 13th ... but in March 2009. Ouch. From the looks of it, it'll be worth the wait.
[UPDATE] While the game has been pushed back to next year, it has been confirmed to be a worldwide release on that day. So that's one less thing to zombie-moan about.

March 2009? That's the worst news I've ever heard!
Still, online co-op should be sweet.

It hasn't been pushed back to next year. They alway said that it would be released by the end of the fiscal year... which goes through March 2009.

They said earlier on that RE5 would be done before fiscal year of 2008 which is 1st quarter of 2009 so that comes as no surprise to me...
It'll be worth it so wait it out by brushing up on your RE lore and play all the old games...
