Resident Evil Village, the upcoming survival horror from Capcom and next mainline entry in the acclaimed series, has sparked some controversy over its inclusion of werewolves and witches. The series is no stranger to outlandish supernatural elements, though, which makes some of these claims a bit far-fetched. Nonetheless, with many fans still embracing the vast changes that the next game will introduce, a new theory has appeared online thanks to a piece of promo art that could have dire implications for the character of Chris Redfield, and puts a new spin on the old werewolf dilemma.

Twitter user Dusk Golem, who previously leaked accurate information about Resident Evil Village before its announcement, revealed that a new promo image appeared on the game's Steam page showing Chris Redfield presumably morphing into a werewolf. Some believe that it's just an artistic choice, but the fanbase has begun forming some interesting theories that Chris could actually be a werewolf, hence the secrecy behind his character. Capcom wouldn't drop such an obvious hint towards the beloved character's fate so freely, so it's understandable why many don't believe it to be true. Either way, this is quite a revelation that could spin Resident Evil Village in a few unique directions should Chris actually be a werewolf in the game.
