We've long needed one of these, especially after the bombardment of new information lately. Before giving my thoughts on it all, I thought I'd post some info up for everyone to read to fill you all in on the things you'll be wanting to know.

Male Protagonist
Chris Redfield
Yep, this time round it's yet again Chris' turn. With his first appearance being in the original '96 Resident Evil and numerous appearances since, he's arguably the "main" hero of the entire series. Chris is known for his "arch-enemy" being Wesker, and with Wesker being confirmed to be in RE5, it looks like that'll be included as a part of the story.

Female Protagonist
Name Unknown ("Sheva")
Very little is known about our recently revealed heroine. For a short while now many fans have assumed this woman to be either Claire Redfield (Chris' sister) or Jill Valentine (Usually appearing alongside Chris in one way or another) - neither of which she is. Currently being referred to as Sheva, she appears to be African, at least judging by her accent in the most recent trailer where she says to Chris (after saving him from a chainsaw maniac), "Welcome to Africa". Sheva appears to have a laser sight equipped to her handgun and is wearing a headset not unlike Chris', leading many to believe she will be a playable character and perhaps taking on the second role in the co-op mode.
