10 Unanswered Questions From Resident Evil 7
9. Was That Really Chris Redfield At The End?
The game ends with Ethan being rescued by a man claiming to be "Redfield", and the credits list him as "Chris Redfield." Still, he looks pretty different to the beefcake Chris from more recent games. Was this really Chris, now working with Umbrella, or is there another explanation?
The Likely Answer: Fans are hugely divided on this so far, and the two most prominent theories are that a) Chris really is working with a new, benevolent Umbrella or b) the man in question is actually franchise legend HUNK, an Umbrella security operative who is pretending to be Chris in order to lure Ethan into a false sense of security.
Considering Redfield's attire and gas mask strongly resemble HUNK's iconic get-up, this one's incredibly easy to believe, but Capcom could easily be fielding out a red herring. Presumably it'll be explained in this Spring's "Not a Hero" DLC.
