Capcom has yet to officially announce Resident Evil 8, but rumors from multiple, reliable sources have more or less confirmed that the game is in development. If rumors about Resident Evil 8 being revealed at the PS5 game event on June 11 are true, then fans won't have to wait long to learn more about the game in an official capacity, but in the meantime, a frequent leaker has revealed yet another interesting detail.

This rumor comes from AestheticGamer, who has accurately leaked Resident Evil news in the past. Fans should still take this information with a grain of salt, but if AestheticGamer's sources are correct, then it appears as though the upcoming Resident Evil 8 will have three playable characters.

The main playable character in Resident Evil 8 will supposedly be Ethan Winters, who was the protagonist of Resident Evil 7. Apparently, fans will be playing as Ethan for about 50-60% of the game. 30-40% of the game will be spent playing as the secondary protagonist, and about 10% of the game will be spent playing as the third protagonist.

As for who the other playable characters are in Resident Evil 8, that remains to be seen. Previously, it was leaked that there is a new playable character named Emily, so it's possible that she is the secondary protagonist. According to the leaks, Emily teams up with Ethan to search for her missing father. More details on Emily and her role in the story are unavailable at the time of this writing, but if she exists, fans should find out more come the Resident Evil 8 reveal.

The third playable character could be just about anybody. Perhaps fans will take on the role of series favorite Chris Redfield for a portion of the game, or maybe the third playable character will be somebody completely new and unexpected. There are quite a few popular Resident Evil characters Capcom could use if it wants to feature an existing character in RE8, so this is something else that fans will just have to wait to find out more.

If the Resident Evil 8 reveal happens at the PS5 game reveal event on June 11 as rumored, fans may learn a lot more about the upcoming survival-horror game come tomorrow.

Resident Evil 8 is rumored to be in development for unspecified platforms.
