Resident Evil 7 was one Hell of a game, and concluded with protagonist Ethan being rescued by none other than a man referring to himself as "Redfield", and somewhat resembling original series protagonist Chris Redfield.

Considering that RE7 seemed like a soft reboot of the series, this was an especially shocking moment, all the more so as he appears to now be a member of the Umbrella Corporation.

There have been numerous theories about the ending, with "Chris" either being impersonated by legendary franchise character Hunk, or Chris working as an undercover agent for Umbrella with the intention of dismantling them from the inside.

Capcom has since confirmed that the character is 100% Chris Redfield, though the "Not a Hero" Chris DLC planned for release this past spring has since been indefinitely delayed, leaving fans with a major case of blue balls as they wait await answers.
