DLC Details
The first DLC for Resident Evil 5 will add two online multiplayer modes:

Each of the modes will be playable by up to four players. Slayer's Rule is a point-based game that challenges players to kill Majinis, while Survivor's Rule challenges players to hunt each other.

Other Multiplayer
Resident Evil 5 does offer multiplayer options right out of the box. There is both online and offline cooperative play available throughout the entire story, as well as the unlockable Mercenaries Mode, a timed cooperative mode that can be played both online and offline. The goal in this mode is to score the highest amount of points while surviving waves of enemies. Players must kill the enemies to earn points and add more time to clock.IGN: RE5 Mercenaries Mode Goes Online
