Resident Evil 7: We now know who will star in the free “Not a Hero” DLC

Update: Capcom has confirmed the DLC’s protagonist as Chris Redfield.

Original story: Finishing Resident Evil 7 in the wake of its version 1.01 patch sheds new light on the protagonist of its upcoming, free “Not a Hero” DLC.

This is your last spoiler alert. You have been warned.

From the look of the teaser image that greets you upon completion, you’ll be playing “Not a Hero” as none other than Chris Redfield himself.

Or is that ‘Chris Redfield’? If you’re not sure what we mean by that, you might want to read here. The character’s name (or ‘name’) is based off of information given at the end of the game. Based on the title of the DLC itself, it appears that all is not as it seems…

According to the teaser, the DLC will be available in spring 2017 (or autumn 2017 here in Australia). A Capcom rep has specifically stated we’ll see the content in May.
