. Story
From the ashes of old conflicts, a new terror arises. The
Umbrella Corporation and its crop of lethal viruses have been
destroyed and contained, but a new, more dangerous threat has
emerged. Years after surviving the events in Raccoon City, Chris
Redfield has been fighting the scourge of bio- weapons all
over the world. Now a member of the Bio-terrorism Security
Assessment Alliance (B.S.A.A.), Chris is sent to Africa to
investigate a biological agent that is transforming the populace
into aggressive and disturbing creatures. Joined by local BSSA
agent, Sheva Alomar, the two must work together to solve the
truth behind the disturbing turn of events.
Exciting Two-Player Co-op Mode
The new cooperative gameplay element focuses on the realities of
a dual-agent mission, highlighting the ways in which Redfield and
Alomar must work together to survive the unexpected, while still
allowing them to split up and work alone. To help you maximize
the potential of this setup, two-player online and offline co-op
modes ensure that you have options when aligning yourself with a
partner.

In addition to all the campaign gameplay content included in the
initial standard console release, Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition
also includes two all-new episodes. These include "Lost in
Nightmares" in which Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine journey
back to the Spencer Mansion from the original Resident Evil to
solve its puzzles, and uncover the secrets of the Umbrella
Corporation; and "Desperate Escape", featuring Jill Valentine and
BSAA agent Josh Stone fighting to escape the Tricell facility,
and the unrelenting waves of enemies at their heels. The Gold
Edition also adds two new costume packs containing a total of
four new costumes. These new costumes feature full playability
both in-game and in cutscenes, ensuring that Gold Edition players
always fight evil in style.
