According to a published (then retracted) preview on GamesRadar, the upcoming Resident Evil 5 will support online cooperative play and sport a new “duck and cover” play system.

The online co-op makes it possible for other players to drop in and out throughout the entire game. This will undoubtedly allow players to make the game as much (or little) of a communal experience as they desire. When an online player is not available, the game will substitute an AI character in their place.

The duck and cover system is similar to that seen in other recent games and will allow players to hide behind a wall and shoot their weapons around the corner. This is the first time the technique will be used in a Resident Evil game.
