Resident Evil 8 rumoured to feature three playable characters

Assuming that the information is right, we don't think Capcom is very happy with the Twitter user Dusk Golem who over and over keeps posting really juicy details about Resident Evil 8. Now he has been at it again, claiming that there will be three playable characters this time:

"I guess I should mention this, though Ethan is the main playable character of RE8, RE8 has three playable characters. I kinda already shared this months ago in a roundabout way; as Revelations 3, RE8 had three playable protagonists. However I've had it confirmed a few times now that the final game of RE8 retains the three playable protagonist aspect. From how I heard it, you play about 50-60% of the game as Ethan, 30-40% as the secondary protagonist, and about 10% of the game as the third one. For those curious.

(all three also play a bit differently, but yeah.)"

It is speculated that Chris Redfield will be one of those characters, as well as the previously rumoured character Emily. It is of course not confirmed in any way, even if Dusk Golem has a great track record for Capcom leaks. But several playable characters in the Resident Evil series have been staples ever since the very first game with few exceptions, so we'd say it's a fairly reasonable rumour.
