Storyline

No details have been released about the game's storyline other than the fact that it is set after the events of Resident Evil 4 and that it will take place in a desert setting (an idea inspired by the movie Black Hawk Down), in which the main character is stranded in an undisclosed foreign country after surviving a helicopter crash, it has been suggested that the storyline is passed somewhere near the Ecuador. The main character's identity has not been officially released, but an article in the August 5, 2005 issue of Weekly Famitsu
suggests the possibility of the protagonist being Chris Redfield by pointing out a resemblance, as well as hinting that the protagonist is a character the developers are "very fond of" (with most of the team having worked on the original Resident Evil, including Takeuchi himself).

The September 2005 issue of Famitsu Xbox provided further hints of the game's character and plot. When asked whether Resident Evil 5 will provide a closure to the feud between Chris Redfield and Albert Wesker (as covered in Resident Evil Code: Veronica), Takeuchi commented that the production is in its early stages and many plot details are still in the air.

Weapons

Details are sketchy right now, but it is confirmed that a large knife will be the starter weapon. An IMI Desert Eagle handgun is seen wielded in the trailer. As before in Resident Evil 4, the enemies are now fast, making for a much less clichéd enemy.
