Resident Evil 5 mystery mercenary gets a name

It seems like Capcom has finally revealed the name of the brunette bombshell opposite Chris Redfield in Resident Evil 5 (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360). Find out the name of the former “unknown female mercenary” in our full article after the jump.

It seems the “unknown female mercenary” shown in an earlier clip of Capcom’s Resident Evil 5finally gets a name – Sheva Alomar. The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu features one of the new female characters in the latest Resident Evil title opposite the male protagonist of the game, Chris Redfield.

The scan above shows some of the more choice screenshots with Sheva on it, including some of the heavy duty armaments she’ll be packing for this zombie-filled adventure. She certainly resembles a certain cave-spelunking, brunette bombshell with those double pistols she’s wielding.

In any case, we’ll most certainly see more of her and the other characters of Resident Evil 5 when Capcom showcases the game, along with several others, in the upcoming E3 2008. Resident Evil 5 is currently slated to be released by 2009 for the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360.
