In 2009, five years after the events of Resident Evil 4, Chris Redfield, now an agent of the Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance (BSAA), is dispatched to Kijuju in West Africa. A sequel, Resident Evil 6, was released in 2012. It is the best-selling game of the Resident Evil franchise, and the original version remained the best-selling individual Capcom release until March 2018, when it was outsold by Monster Hunter: World.

As of December 2022, when including the original, special and remastered versions, the game had sold 13.5 million units. The game received some complaints of racism, though an investigation by the British Board of Film Classification found the complaints were unsubstantiated.

Resident Evil 5 received a positive reception, despite some criticism for its control scheme. The Windows version was developed by Mercenary Technology. Several staff members from the original Resident Evil worked on Resident Evil 5.

Motion capture was used for the cutscenes, and it was the first video game to use a virtual camera system. It has also been considered the first game in the main series to depart from the survival horror genre, with critics saying it bore more resemblance to an action game. The gameplay of Resident Evil 5 is similar to that of the previous installment, though it is the first in the series designed for two-player cooperative gameplay. Chris learns that he must confront his past in the form of an old enemy, Albert Wesker, and his former partner, Jill Valentine. The plot involves an investigation of a terrorist threat by Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance agents Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar in Kijuju, a fictional region of West Africa. It was re-released for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in June 2016. Resident Evil 5 was released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles in March 2009 and for Windows in September 2009. It is a major installment in the Resident Evil series, and was announced in 2005-the same year its predecessor Resident Evil 4 was released. Resident Evil 5 is a 2009 third-person shooter video game developed and published by Capcom.
