Resident Evil 5: Capcom says 16 player listing on pack art is wrong

Resident Evil has largely been a single-player affair but Capcom looks to change that trend with a fully realized co-op mode in the upcoming Resident Evil 5. It seems that gamers are excited enough about the possibilities a two-player Resident Evil 5 can bring but for a brief moment it looked like the game included a 16 player multiplayer mode.

Originally discovered by D+Pad, the UK pack shot of Resident Evil 5 lists support for up to 16 players via system link. At first the Internet didn't know what to think until Capcom told Videogaming247 that the pack shot was correct but declined any further comment. While the Internet went into frenzy mode about a potential 16 player zombie hunt, Capcom again contacted Videogaming247, this time confirming the art was indeed an error, saying, "Turns out our pack art was wrong!"

So there you have it, kids. Resident Evil 5 will only include a two-player co-op mode. It's new enough for the series, right? Baby steps, people.
