Resident Evil 5 baddies confirmed: Albert Wesker, Excella Gionne
Guess who’s back for another round in the Resident Evil franchise? For the third time now, Chris Redfield is going to be bumping into a very familiar face in Africa. Famitsu details other characters confirmed to appear in Resident Evil 5: one of them is Mr. Sunglasses here (the man usually quoted for his adamant insistence in not opening mansion doors), and the other, a new corporate baddie to strike fear on her enemies care of a scanty dress and a tight bun… like, hair bun, of course.
Famitsu scans have revealed two new characters set to join the PS3 and Xbox 360‘s Resident Evil 5 cast. Chris Redfield’s little outing in Africa couldn’t get any better as his age-old nemesis is back for another bout. Yes, Albert Wesker is indeed to appear in RE5.
I’m sure you guys remember him – first seen in Resident Evil, then appeared again in RE: Code Veronica, RE Zero, RE4, and of course, played a pivotal role in Umbrella Chronicles. Oh, and the RE: Extinction movie too.
Wesker has always been around – so seeing him now in RE5 may not come as a surprise. If RE6 were to be set in the planet Jupiter in the year 2047, you can bet Wesker would also be there… as would his trademarked sunglasses.
The other character confirmed for Capcom‘s RE5 is one Excella Gionne. She’s the president in the African headquarters of TriCell paharmaceutical. As you can expect from middle-aged corporate women, she wears quite a revealing dress and has a tight bun. Like… hair bun “bun,” of course, not… oh you get what I mean.
More details from the scan reveal that the online co-op mode will put teamwork as a prime gameplay mechanic, saying that if either of your characters die, the game ends for both.
