13 Predictions For 2017's Biggest Video Games

13. Resident Evil 7 Has A Claire Redfield Cameo

The Prediction: Franchise veteran Claire Redfield will make a cameo appearance of some kind in Resident Evil 7.

Why It Will Happen: There have been rumours for some time that RE7 will have some sort of link to the prior titles in the series, and while it's been confirmed that Leon won't be appearing in the game, what about his Resident Evil 2 pal, Claire?

Considering that she hasn't shown up in a mainline RE game in quite some time, she's more than overdue an appearance.

Why It Might Not: It's entirely possible that the link to previous games might be by way of Easter eggs and minor plot references rather than actually having a character return to the fray.

After all, it would be incredibly easy for a cameo from Claire or anyone else to come across as overly fan-servicey and detract from the atmosphere.
